Ever since the discussions of Bradish and Means going on the IL and getting a late start to their seasons, I have felt that Irvin would stick as a starter. He is more suited to be in the rotation than he is to be a relief pitcher. And this past 4 weeks he is showing why.
He can give you 180-190 innings this season if you keep putting confidence in him.
It would be nice to have 2 decent lefties in our rotation with 1 RHP sandwiched in between them. But truth be told I don't think John Means can last more than 2 months before some type of ailment nags his body.
I don't think it's possible now with the way teams place value on players getting the occasional rest day. I don't see any future player even coming close to challenging Cal's consecutive games played record.
No, I don’t think he’s got any fantasies about Cal’s record. Might he play all 162 this year? I’m sure it could happen, but if I were Hyde I’d prefer to give him a day off every month or so once the weather heats up.
