There are several more talented pieces that weren't here last year though...
Why is Bub Monsoon predicting him to make the 25-man, then?

I hope that plan R is heavy on James Earl Jones and light on anybody riding anything with a cowboy hat on.

No, that's why he has value. Anybody that has his lack of stuff and can still pitch in the majors is worth signing to a MiLB contract.

If that's the case, I could fill a spot in a big league bullpen. 

I had a good slider back in the day...

Correct. He knows how to compete. There is a fine line between MLB and AAA, usually it's mental.

he knows how to fail to compete. yeah, there is a fine line between MLB and AAA. but Villone is not on the MLB side. or rather he shouldn't be.

that's some backwards logic that only you'd understand blue.

can't fathom how a terrible player has value. I'd much rather have players that aren't terrible and are actually good players.

guess I'll agree to disagree here.

That's cool. I'm not saying that Villone makes the off season, just I don't see it as a negative.

Anyone up for signing another starting pitcher?  With Detwiler done for 3 months, seems to me we need another option in Spring Training....

Benson? Livan? Jennings? Looper? Washburn?

If someone else goes down, perhaps, but right now, I think we're ok and come May, we'll be close to log jam territory.

Didn't the team recently sign Chuck James?

Maybe he can make a massive comeback.

Yeah, but don't think he's ready yet either.

Ready now, we got

Balester
Martin
Martis
Stammen
Chico
Olsen
Batista
Mock
Strasburg

And ready sometime later in 2010 we got:

Wang
Detwiler
Zimmermann
James

Hoping we can hold Stras back a bit, but heck give everybody a start till we find the right guy. One of them is going to break out, maybe two.

When is Zimmermann expected to be back?  I was assuming he wouldn't pitch at all in '10.

I think I saw August back on the mound, which might allow for either a few September starts or perhaps an AFL stint (I think guys with minimal MLB service coming of f an injury can go to the AFL).

They could always try him in Winter ball, right?

Hip injury.

Right, torn labrum ( see - Alex Rodriguez).

If A-Rod's the model, it shouldn't have any long term consequences.

Alex Gordon had it too.  It's taken him a bit longer to return to form.
