The evidence is there in the fact that he could not get past 5 innings in either of his regular season starts.<br /><br />Hill had 3 spring training starts but went only 8 innings. In my opinion he was not given time enough to build up arm strength and pitch accuracy either.<br /><br />After 8 innings most pitchers are still working on an individual pitch and location, not on throwing complete games.<br /><br />Gaudin pitched 5 good innings yesterday in Colorado, but he was pulled after 88 pitches because he really has not had time to build up arm strength either.WebSoulSurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385605335746684528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020322.post-1393080697354269642009-04-27T07:02:00.000-07:002009-04-27T07:02:00.000-07:00Silva pitched all winter.

He might have been trying to hard, which is what happens when you confront major league hitters with minor league stuff. <br /><br />Hill's been hurt his entire career. This injury should not surprise anyone. <br /><br />The Padre rotation was fashioned out of bubble gum and scotch tape. Eventually the bubble bursts and the tape snaps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
