Bravos looking Hot

[msstate7]

Pitching is going to be what holds us back. Colon and Dickey being starters in our rotation is killing us. Colon doesn't have it anymore. Going into his last start, his ERA in the first 3 innings this year was above 10. This team can't play from behind so that kills us. His ERA is 6.80, his WHIP is 1.46, and his K/BB is 2.45. I'm not sure how much longer we can allow that in our rotation.

Help could be on the way...

AAA staff:

Newcomb...
2.89 era 1.37 whip 46 k in 37.1 ip

Sims...
2.16 era 0.82 whip 42 k in 41.2 ip

Weigel (just got to AAA) stats from both stops...
3.05 era 1.15 whip 43 k in 44.1 ip

Blair and wisler actually coming off solid starts. I'm still not counting on them for anything.

Our AA staff is absolutely sick:

Allard (19-years old!!!!)...
1.23 era 0.95 whip

Soroka (19-years old!!!)...
2.84 era 0.89 whip

Gohara (20-years old)...
2.11 era 1.20 whip

AA guys won't be up this year, but I think you could see any of the AAA starters this year

We do have to remember that SunTrust will alter offensive numbers to some degree. So the hitting hasn't been quite as good as it seems, and the pitching hasn't been quite as bad as it seems.
