Should we have kept Brocail?

That's not the point. The theory is that it's important for young pitchers to develop confidence, and there are some talented guys who won't build that confidence because they'll give up more, and cheaper, HRs and runs in a park where those things come more easily to hitters. 

I don't think that, in general, players lacking in confidence make the majors.

I don't think playing half your games in a stadium that slightly increases scoring because it is more conducive to home runs is going to impair a pitcher's development.

You should have been here when we got Leo Mazzone.

I think we forgot you can't turn Sidney Ponson and Daniel Cabrera into Maddux and Glavine no matter how good a pitching coach. 

I think we jettisoned Ponson before Mazzone arrived.   

It seemed Mazzone did a nice job with Bedard and Guthrie.   He really didn’t click with Lopez and B. Chen, who’d had some success before he arrived.
