Evidently they need more left handed arms for rotation...

Yup. He came into the league as both a pitcher and OFer, we just took him as a OF. He was actually pretty highly sought after as a pitcher, as well.

Never thought we would have this discussion but better pitcher, Francoeur or Schafer?

He's put that part of his life behind him. Now he's all about preventing hits rather than taking them.

Dodgers are high on him.. He told them that there is always a pinch hitter in the dugout...
As a pitcher he should be a good fielder because of all the blunt singles he rolled in the infield. He will know how to take the hit and pass it over to the bag at first. Dodgers must be high... on him.
Interesting I truly believe Schafer could smoke Crawford running a line. He'd be doing circles around him.

I agree, Jordan would bump him off easy.. however the dodgers are going to be behind the eight ball when the hitters start to rail on him.. Just hope he can crack the rotation to see that speed again.

Does this make the phrase "toeing the rubber" code for pot smoking?
I may just let you keep your title rookie. You're learning fast round these parts.
