The best part was that no one challenged him on it. Plesac was right on board with him. They said we'll need some more starting pitching, which I agree with as do most of us, I believe.
we're almost 25 games into the season and you can tell everyone has gotten the message (for the most part):
play better defense, don't nibble and put up some good at bats ... there is help on the way, so for you bench/fringe guys who want to be here when we're a winner ... you better show up and take advantage of the opportunity.
while our rightfield position is a scary situation (although the defense has been amazing) and we need flores back over nieves, our offense and defense doesn't worry me. bullpen has some question marks/eyesores, but let's face it storen/english will be here soon and one or two of the starters will be moving to the pen.
our starting pitching has been an unbelievable bright spot. at the beginning of spring training, only lannan was assured of a rotation spot. with strasburg/wang/detwiler/zimmermann all slated to come back at some point this year ... livan/atilano/olsen/stammen know the spots won't be there for long, so they better make the most of the opportunity. with the way they have been pitching, they are making the decisions tough for our front office.
