4th Playoff Starter: Gibson vs. Kremer

[Bahama O's Fan]

I highly doubt it's anyone else like Flaherty or Irvin. Who would you prefer? Who do you think management will pick?

[Pickles]

It's the Rickey Vaughn vs. Eddie Harris dilemma.

I would probably pitch Gibson.  He has more quality starts.

Kremer 

[psagawa]

Gibson, because I think Kremer would be more effective out of the bullpen

[Sports Guy]

Depends on the team you play against..if it’s Toronto, it’s Gibson…if it’s Houston, it may be both and Means is the odd man out.

I'll defer to Hyde since they are both pitching well in September. Its a coin flip for me. I can see pluses and minuses for both.

Kremer dominated Tor this year.  I know Gibson did well against them as well.  Kremer has better stuff.  It’s close to a coin flip for me, but I’d go with Kremer.

I'm inclined to go with Kremer too he's been the better pitcher since the all star break. I agree with @Sports Guy that the match up will be the biggest factor in determining who Hyde goes with in the ALDS.

Kremer first and second half splits:

Gibson first and second half splits (not including tonight's game):

[BohKnowsBmore]

Probably Kremer. 

[Aristotelian]

I'd go with Kremer but Gibson has really had a terrific September. (Hit hard tonight despite good results). If they go with Gibson I wouldn't fault them. Either one can have a short leash. 

[ShoelesJoe]

Kremer has better stuff, but he can be a real knucklehead sometimes. I'd go with Pops Gibson.

Gibson starts game 3 on the road and Means starts game 4 with Kremer in the pen as the longman with Means and Gibson on very short leashes...

I’d prefer Kremer but suspect Hyde will give the nod to Gibson.

I like Means to start game 2 in Camden Yards with the deep left field and possibly having our opponent trying to play more right handed hitters against him.
