Devries is a good story and actually pitched well enough last year to get a good shot at starting this year. Like many, it easy for me to root for Deduno, although it seems unlikely he will actually ever harness his stuff consistently enough for anyone to actually leave him in the rotation over a few emergency starts.<br /><br />Although the rotation appears fairly full, I don't know how many of the projected starters will be healthy enough to start the year. As far as Correia goes, I would like to actually see him pitch before I would join the anti-Correia crowd.Jim Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195084204316698108.post-54056113837181368172013-02-16T09:03:08.370-06:002013-02-16T09:03:08.370-06:00I don't know why I am so intrigued with Sam De...I don't know why I am so intrigued with Sam Deduno. Watching him last year, there were times he had electric stuff. And if the coaching staff can somehow get him to limit his walks he could be a solid rotation guy. Then you look at the numbers DeVries put up and you realize he pitched pretty well. 5-5, 1.209 WHIP. Correia is just another example of throwing money at a really bad pitcher, ala Blackburn. I really believe DeVries, Deduno or even PJ Walters could of held that spot in the rotation equally effectively at a minimum cost. Correia will be making Twins fans pull their hair out by May 1st.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
