What do you guys think about a Flynn/Pounders combo start for the 5th spot.
to me, it's youngsie's spot until he doesn't want it anymore.
Honestly, right now I don't think he wants it. He even said he feels he is letting the team down.
I'd like to see CY be a guy out of the pen who gets 3-6 outs and not long relief. We have HSHD but there are games we need a pitcher to pitch the 6th and maybe the 6th&7th. We don't really have a set guy for that spot if the game is close and we know we aren't gonna use 3 or 4 of HSHD guys. So far this year, when that situation has come up, it's just been whoever is available or Ned keeps the starter in.
I don't know if CY would be good at that role or not. He isn't the pitcher he was last season, but last year he had 13 relief appearances where he pitched 2.0 Inn or less. He gave up 9 hits 4 ER in 16.0 Inn.
