That being said, I still don't like him as the Sunday starter, and I agree with Gun that his fastball is flat.

With Ginn & Small going deep into games, I think we could use a strategic "committee" type of approach, but it would need to be well thought out. For instance, we could start Cerantola and see how many he can give us (especially if we need him to become the guy)....and once he's done, go with Eagan or Barlow or even the kid that throws midweek for us, and try to get one or two innings at a different arm slot. Then come back with Keegan or Plumlee, then a Lefty, and try to just go back and forth righty/lefty a time or two through the order. But by starting Cerantola, at least we're grooming him to be the Sunday guy full time, but we're ready with a plan (and a guy loose in the pen from the start) in case he just goes 1 inning.

I don't know, just trying to think of some way to get as good or better production as James (which shouldn't be hard), while actually preparing ourselves to be better on Sunday come postseason time and next year. Bc if James hasn't become a reliable Sunday guy yet, it might be time to realize it ain't going to happen. So I'd love to see Plumlee or Cerantola trot out there next Sunday for starters
I like the Cerantola idea. Hell, if he blows up, then that ain't no different than what is already happening. At least he gives you a chance.
