The should move Santana to the bullpen

[MakeMeSomeFoodHo]

He'd be much more valuable there than in the starting rotation

No, no, no, no. NO.

 

 

Have Duaner Sanchez start the 1st.

J.J. Putz start the 2nd.

K-Rod start the 3rd.

 

Have Santana pitch the rest!

 

GENIUS!

i've actually read articles that seriously advocate starting with the bullpen and ending w/ the starter

I agree, it's just the same...just flipped around. The starter would probably get more win, right?

[Herc]

yeah, well it'd be impossible for any of the relievers (who would now be starters i guess) to get wins since whoever starts the game can't get it w/o qualifying.

 

i doubt you'd see anymore 20 game winners though since the wins (or losses in the mets case) would be so spread out among all the pitchres on each team

[fringe]

if there's a chance of a rainout, i think it's the way to go.

However, if you use up bullpen pitchers in the early innings, and your starter is ineffective when he comes in, you are short-handed for the rest of the game. Then what happens if the game goes into extras? Then you are really screwed.

 

For these reasons it's not a very good proposition.
