Comments on: A rare duo of kids in the A’s rotation? http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/03/rare-duo-in-as-rotation/ An A's-Giants blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:49:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mickey http://baybridgebaseball.com/2009/03/rare-duo-in-as-rotation/comment-page-1/#comment-2518 Mickey Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:00:45 +0000 http://baybridgebaseball.com/?p=858#comment-2518 Things look bleak for our hero's . . . it would be one thing if somebody in the rotation was at least having a good spring or if Duke was healthy (never gonna happen). What till next year for winning I guess, hopefully the offense makes the season entertaining at least. Things look bleak for our hero’s . . .

Hard to believe it's been almost 20 years since Todd Van Poppel, Don Peters and Dave Zancanaro were going to carry the A's rotation into the 21st century.

The A's have upgraded their offense for 2009, and the Angels' projected weaker team (though still probably the best in the west) opens a chance to win the division and contend in the postseason -- but only if the pitching is solid. As good as the prospects are, it seems to me that -- even if Duchscherer was healthy -- the rotation is simply not strong enough (in terms of MLB ready talent) to do the job. I hope I'm wrong. Otherwise we may see a half season of good offense and defense but having to play catchup because of the pitching --and the other half, after the fire sales? Can’t say I’m happy about this.
