Beachy can't replace both MaHolm and Medlen can he? About a month go I thought we could ease Beachy back into the rotation, now I think we need to put him in there as soon as he's ready.

Maholm is the one that has to go. Medlen is fine.....he won't be nor should he be replaced. You replace your worst pitcher and right now that's Maholm.
 
Kris Medlen is a solid pitcher. He's not a #1 or #2. He's a #3. What is wrong with that? I just don't get the hate there and how that is considered "junk". He's not Greg Maddux and was never going to be Greg Maddux and if you thought he would do what he did last year then you need to get a higher baseball IQ.
 
I am really liking this performance from Wood tonight. He is pitching very well and we needed him too. I was real impressed with that bases loaded with no outs situation. That was a high leverage situation if there ever is one. He responded wonderfully.
 
Justin Verlander - 19 GS, 9-6 W-L, 119 IP, 123 H, 52 R, 49 ER, 10 HR, 42 BB, 122 SO, 3.71 ERA

Kris Medlen - 19 GS, 6-8 W-L, 113 2/3 IP, 124 H, 55 R, 46 ER, 12 HR, 32 BB, 86 SO, 3.64 ERA

I'll just leave this here to make a point.
 
Be on the lookout for this guy.
