Well, Tatum is NOT dealing thus far.

Not basing that on today, but I think the rotation will end up being Brown, Sexton and Hudson. I'm still gun-shy with Hudson, so promoting him to Friday is a stretch. My outside-the-box prediction for the season is that Brown ends up being the Friday night guy. I say use Tatum out of the bullpen, where he excelled as a freshman. Good role for a lefty with movement. Let one of the freshmen, and McCord if healthy, battle it out for the 4th/midweek spot. Houston the closer. I hope Gentry is ready to go, that will be a great addition late in games. Nobody is talking about Mintz either, or Billingsley, who I believe was hurt as well.
