If the talent level rises much more, you have a starter. You know that, right?

I sure do.  That would be my goal, that the 4th outfielder and/or utility guy be talented enough that they can easily be a starter without much dropoff when called upon.  Are you saying you want our backups/4th OFer/utility guy to not be talented enough to be a starter?  

[TopGunnar]

Westys going to be a good player. Surprised Hays didn’t score there

[Uli2001]

McCann in a big spot.

No, not that one. Opposite end of the spectrum. But these dolts can go get ****ed too. 

[baltfan]

This front office knows their guys.  There is a reason they gave Westburg a real number. Cowser is the only one they have given a real number that has struggled. 

[Hallas]

Oh jeez that didn't look great.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh no. 

[dtk9119]

Ouch

[forphase1]

I hope he's ok.  He's been much better than I expected, both behind the plate and with the bat.

I just went with the guy currently on the team for convenience sake.

Hideki Irabu. 

Six years, one year with an ERA+ over 100. 

And Steinbrenner called him a Fat Toad!

I'm saying that no team has a bench full of regulars. I mean, if you want to say they could start on the A's or the Royals, sure.

[Moose Milligan]

Man, hope he’s ok. 

[drjohnnyfever1]

Brutal.  Sounded like wood.
