We're not even going to discuss Roy or Wandy - because they're in. But who deserves to get bumped, or sent down?
Let's take into account the month of June:
Pitcher | IP | H/ER | ERA/WHIP | K:BB |
Ortiz | 33 | 27/7 | 1.91/1.03 | 24:7 |
Paulino | 14.2 | 11/4 | 2.45/0.85 | 20:1 |
Moehler | 26 | 30/16 | 5.54/1.77 | 13:8 |
Looks pretty clear to me that if we're replacing a starter with Hampton, it's got to be Moehler who gets bumped. If we take into account relievers, it's not going to be Byrdak or Wright (who has a 0.00/0.60 ERA/WHIP since coming back from Round Rock, lowering his ERA almost 2 full points), because they're the only two lefties in the bullpen. Only Valverde has an ERA over 3.00, and he's not going anywhere.
This seems to be a logical move to make, which means you will be able to completely disregard this post within 30 hours.
