    Ok baseball guys, how's he healing? Should he be good to go when the season starts?

    Butch told a buddy of mine that there were going to be some surprises this year. Guys thought to be sure SP's would be int the pen while some thought to sure fire bullpen arms would be SP's. thought that was interesting.

    And yes Woody should be good to go

    He is supposed to be back pitching in the spring. He will be rehabbing in the fall.

    He should be pitching by fall ball IMO -- unless we are just going over the top with the caution...

    It was a 6-8 week rehab, I believe... Meaning he should be good to go now if there has been no setbacks...

    Does that mean that Holder and Ross Mitchell may be in the rotation?

    not sure- but it obviously means the rotation could look vastly different than we expect it to

    You have to think Fitts, Woody, and Lindgren were the logical top starting candidates among the returning players. My biggest concern is with Lindgren, but it would still be a surprise if he wasn't in the weekend rotation.

    My guess is he is referring to Fitts and Dakota Hudson. Fitts finished his summer strong. From where I sit, there was always going to be an odd man out among Woodruff, Fitts, Lindgren, Paul Young, and Hudson.

    I wouldn't be shocked to see Lindgren in the pen. I like him as a starter, but I remember Cohen raving about him last fall as a relief pitcher. Then again, with as much as Cohen loves to play matchups, it's hard for me to imagine him not wanting a LH starter in the weekend rotation. Butch also could have been talking about Bracewell as a possible starter. Who knows?

    We'll just have to wait and see in the fall.

    Woody's arm is fine. Expect him to go slow in fall. I think Lindgren will take Girodo's role, lefty match up and if he is on then long reliever. If true he may be referring to Ross as a starter. But Woody and Paul Young are in the rotation IMO, no matter what.

    Lindgren will be a 1st round pick so I hope we maximize his innings. If it's innings 1-5 or 3-7 theoretically it doesn't matter.

    I heard Ross Mitchell was getting hip surgery and wouldn't be pitching at all this fall

    Right Ross is out but he don't need to prove himself. He just needs to get in shape.

    And start the long relief innings.

    Actually Ross starting and going 3-4 turning it over to Fitts might be the best usage. No mid inning balls in play with runners already on spots.

    He has to learn how to field his position a little bit better. Some of his damage was self-inflicted. He will be better because he is more mature- whatever role he is in. Also, he looked a little bit out of shape to me- I'd like to see him improve that as well. He's had some health issues for us- and being in better shape may help with that as well. I think the Vanderbilt game he pitched in last year messed with his head some- his confidence just wasn't the same the rest of the year.

    Jacob did really well in the Cape Cod League this summer- that's usually a good omen.

    I'm a huge lindgren fan but he won't be a first rounder. Great year or not. He was topping out at 91 on the cape. But I agree he's a big time guy. I do think he's the best pro on our staff so I guess I'm really agreeing w you.

    Like I said before, Butch is on cloud 9. He has brought in 10 new pitchers to a not so bad staff. He just has to develop them. This will be his most exciting fall. Lots if quality arms to choose from.

    Ross is lucky so we should not pitch him because he is due to suck**
