Who is the odd man out?
I posted something similar to this in an old diary, but I wanted to bring it to the forefront and get some more ideas on it. As we all know, Lou is saying he wants to go with a 12 man pitching staff. Here is how I have it:
- Zambrano
- Lilly
- Marquis
- Hill
- Miller/Guzman (probably Miller unless traded)
- Wood
- Eyre
- Howry
- Dempster
- Ohman
- Cotts
- Weurtz
I also know that over the course of 162 games you are going to need about 17 pithcers. We have a good stockpile right now. Notice the one guy I didn't mention (Prior). I believe he is done.

Prior
Piniella didn't even mention Prior the other day when he said the 5th starter was between Miller and Guzman.
Guzman
If he doesnt win the 5th starter spot. He can start in Iowa and get the first chance to step in if someone gets injured or maybe a team will become desperate for a starter and offer a good deal for Miller.
I agree
Yes.
That long relief role might just be a though one. I really hope its not Guzman. I wouldnt mind if its Cotts because it could mean that he wouldnt get that much work.
Maybe if Guzman wins the 5th starter spot.. then we can hang onto Miller and he can fill in long relief. At least until someone comes knocking with some prospects.
might just work
Pleasant surprise
Guzman...
This game will be with the White Sox announcers. Fair warning.
Still not really clear
Cherry has been published to be on the 6th spot
Miller still has not been stated as ready, Guzman has been stated to be the front runner.
As it stands now i do not think trading Miller is a good idea unless for a big overpay.
Miller cannot be sent down...
So, if he does not break camp as the fifth starter, then he essentially has to be traded. This is more a case of Hendry treating Miller right and honoring a trade request than it is a move to get value out of him.
