Zuber is definitely on the outside now- he got optioned to Omaha last evening which was somewhat surprising given Staumont's status.
Brach won't be released based on yesterday, but boy is he under some pressure now. Another bad outing or definitely several in a row will be enough.
I hadn't been impressed with Wade Davis, although he hadn't given up any runs yet, but I thought he actually looked good last night. I wish they had radar guns in spring training telecasts.... Hud said he was throwing 95 but Hud is Hud.
Good take on Bubic vs Junis. For whatever reason, I'm ok with Singer especially getting close to 150 IP but not so much with Bubic. Heck Singer threw 127 innings as a 20 year old at UF after only pitching 43 his freshman season. Matheny talked around the IP issue this season last night during the game. To me, he was hinting at guys like Keller, Minor, and Duffy having to be they guys to pick up the bulk of the innings, despite last year's shortened season. I still think they should go with 6 starters after the first month or so.
Carlos Hernandez seems to have a real gift for giving up the long ball.
Jesse Hahn may be their best reliever on the staff right now.
Of course, the ONLY thing that matters is that Dayton Moore said he's open to keeping the Kid on the opening day roster. :)
