[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1460114, member: 619279"] I mean I [I]HOPE[/I] Hudson is awesome and Wainwright keeps it together, I just don't have super high hopes for that happening this year. Hudson just walked too many guys in the minors (and in his short sting in the MLB last year) to be successful with his low strike out rate. He needs to get his command under control, which looked promising during spring training but... it's just spring training who knows if he's turned a corner. He'll definitely get a shot again next year, Wainwright will be done and I doubt they re-sign Wacha. There was an interview with Shildt the other day about how they're planning to increase Reyes' innings out of the bullpen. They want to get him at least 120 to 140 innings this year so he's ready for a full starters work load next year, and he won't get that without multi inning stretch out appearances from the bullpen. I assume they'll do a lot of "Hudson/ Wainwright never sees the order a 3rd time, Reyes throws 3 innings" type of starts and hopefully he's throwing well enough to demand a starting role by mid-season.
