Or drafted some DJ Stewart level talent.    Or some pitcher who needed TJ surgery.

It has been a while since I posted here and now I am concerned about Ubaldo. I have noticed that he does pretty well for a few innings and then falls apart. He is still coping with loss of velocity.  After the Boston start, when he couldn't get out of the 5th inning to qualify for the win, I am seriously wondering if his best role is in long relief.  In long relief,  he can pitch 2- 4 innings of good ball and.then give way to the next bullpen guy. Just a thought

The Orioles tried that last year. Jimenez had an 8.71 ERA in five long relief appearances, as opposed to 5.18 as a starter.

When Ubaldo is off his game, it doesn't matter whether he's starting or relieving -- he's going to stink either way.

However, it usually becomes apparent when he's going to stink. That's when he should be taken out, immediately.  It's a lot easier to yank him out when he is pitching long relief than when he is starting.

He is starting tonight. Let's see what happens.

I don't know about today, but tonight he was damn good.

Jimenez Dazzles in 2-0 Win Over Reds

It is absolutely crazy how Ubaldo can be almost unhittable one start and be absolutely horrible the next start. There is no middle ground with him. He recently made the comment that his splitter does not work when it is cold. I wonder if that has been a large part of the problem besides his delivery issues of course. Ubaldo is the most dominanting pitcher on the staff when he is on his game. Call me crazy but it is true.

Or draft somebody like Ripken as a pitcher and move him to SS of all places.

Gotta think Ubaldo only has a few more clunkers left on the team.
