I wonder if Mulder's lockup/weird mechanics are anything like that kid from Rookie of the Year....it could be a good thing...

I would think that Garcia would be at the top of the list. As good as Todd has been, he certainly hasn't passed Garcia as a prospect yet, and Garcia's been pretty darn good recently himself. A spot start or two this season would give us some idea of what to expect out of him for next season.Not sure about who will start Thursday - Jaime Garcia is a possibility. Reyes is possible for one start, but Duncan isn't sure about him doing multiple starts. McClellan not really an option to become a start - tough transition during the season. Doesn't think Pineiro will be ready for Thursday. Sounds like Garcia is number one on the list right now, could be Todd from AA (although his name wasn't mentioned directly).
He's a coach, he is not allowed to be biased. And I doubt that he is, if he didn't want to talk about it was probably because he doesn't talk about any position players being sent down because it's not his job. Why should it be now?TheoSqua wrote:Heck, even if he's just mad he got sent down. It's his Dad, he's allowed to be biased.

I think it'll be nicknamed "The Cryptkeeper".TimeForGuinness wrote:I wonder how low his arm slot will go until it is dubbed "The Quisenberry"greenback44 wrote:Did they mention that Garcia would be going on short rest?

Mulder's like a monster in a horror movie. He just won't die.
He's on with us now on 1380...
Pineiro threw a bullpen today in Cincy and came out of it well and so he's set to go Thursday.
Wellemeyer set for Saturday.
Clement rehab start on Friday...
Mulder threw today, felt stronger, and will be sent out on another rehab assignment... Mozeliak said Mulder's confidence is better right now than it has been at any point of this surgery/comeback ordeal...so Mozeliak is encouraged.
Izzy throws rehab assignment tomorrow night, and then throw a side session in STL over the weekend... and then a decision will be made if they send him back to continue the rehab, or put him on the 25-man roster.
As for Waino ... several MRIs... reveals no tear... sprain is the diagnosis... will take time...they will monitor and learn more...
About McClellan, Moz prefers to keep him in bullpen; the starting thing would be a last resort thing for this season.

He knew it was justified. You could tell he knew when he had his face is his hands after Chris botched a fly ball before he got demoted.kotheb wrote:He'd be crazy if he thought the situation that occurred wasn't justified.jim wrote: He's a coach, he is not allowed to be biased.

I feel like this should be clarified a bit.maddash wrote:
