Lohse does not produce high ground ball rates, FYI.

He had an operation on his finger. Nothing to indicate any long term arm problem. If he’s not back this year he’ll be back next year. Absolutely zero reason to think he would retire.

Think he got injured during the spring. I’m assuming he’s quite likely to retire if he can’t make it back this year.

What? Wainwright throws a big hammer curve, Kelly throws a slurvey slider. I don’t think it’s likely in any way that we can attribute Kelly’s better breaking ball (I still think it’s a fringey MLB pitch) to Wainwright…

Well, Lohse and Westbrook haven’t been 4/5 starters this year. More like 2/3s.

He could definitely do worse than Cleto, he of the 36% K rate.

Your right about Swagerty still has time to develop as a starter but only to work on his secondary offerings. I still see him as a back end of the bullpen kind of guy because of that plus fastball.

I’d think Swag still has time to develop as a SP and it should be that way until it is obvious he can’t.

His breaking ball is much improved over the last couples of starts that is probably due to being around Wainwright.

What happened to Seth Blair?
