If Young gets hurt, he's replaced with Stauffer. <br /><br />Gallagher rehabbed his knee instead of surgery, and pitched only 40 innings last year. I think he's in the 'pen to build up his arm and innings, work with Balsley, and have the trainers keep an eye on him. He can replace Correia or Garland next year.<br /><br />LeBlanc isn't regarded highly by lovers of heat, but he did what Black wanted and mastered control of his fastball, moving it in and out to all batters. There are power pitchers who get past 30 without learning that.<br /><br />I expect Latos to be limited to about 120 innings, or less if he becomes ineffective, and replaced with LeBlanc late in the season, like last year. If Wade does what he did last year, he'd be the fifth starter next year.<br /><br />I don't expect to see 2011 options on Young, Garland or Torrealba picked up.<br /><br />Larry Faria<br />Ocean BeachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
