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
