Guerra's spot in rotation

[djoctagone]

friday: brandon woodruff

saturday: zach davies

sunday: jimmy nelson

monday: brent suter

tuesday: matt garza

 

it should be noted that if brandon woodruff keeps a spot in the rotation for four starts, it can pretty much be guaranteed that he won't burn his option in 2017. but given what they're hoping for with chase anderson, and two off days the week of 13 august, he might not even need to make that many.

Not really worried about Woodruff's option. If we start burning through his options I guess he isn't that good.

There is no way they let an option burn on Woodruff!

Source? Proof? Highly doubt they go with a short bench to put him in the bullpen till September. I don't see a bullpen arm they are going option in favor of him. Unless they dump someone to keep him permantly in the bullpen for the year I don't see it. Not familiar if Torres or Drake can be optioned.

Finally and very happy to see this.

 

Good luck Guerra in getting your stuff back. Would love to see you in the Espino role next year.

 

Suter and Woodruff pitching to make Garza a trade piece. Can you believe that? I can't.

puzzled as to why davies isn't pitching friday on four days' rest, keeping the saturday slot in line with taylor jungmann. if woodruff completely falters, jungmann can step in five days later. i know that woodruff hasn't pitched since saturday to jungmann's monday, but still . . .

 

I would guess that's because it was always the plan for Woodruff to start Friday. If he doesn't take that turn, I'll be very surprised. I think you'll see Brinson down for Woodruff following today's game. I just don't think they are real high on Jungmann right now for whatever reason. It's too bad because he's been very good in Colorado Springs. Complete turnaround from last year.

 

I think if he is doing well now let him continue doing what he is doing. Judging from his comments last season, how he pitched last combined with his mental break that saw him basically start over last season I'd guess they want him to stay in a situation that seems to be working for him right now. Sometimes letting well enough alone is the best coarse of action. He's having success right now. Let him have more and see if that can help him for long term success. The worst thing that could happen to him now would be to come up and get hammered.
