Girodo did start some games early in his career which didn't go well, but then again nothing really went well early in his career. I'm just saying if a guy is capable of going the number of innings he's gone the last couple of times out he IS capable of being a starter even though he MAY feel more comfortable coming out of the pen. But hell's bells, apparently we don't anyone other than Graveman who is "comfortable" being a starter. Well, Pollo is doing it also but he is probably not all that comfy with it either since he's been mostly a reliever in his career. I mean right now its Graveman and then we are throwing Fitts and Bracewell out there, neither one who has ever started much at all, so I really don't see why everyone is getting in a tizzy at the thought of starting Girodo. Apparently the guys who are supposed to be "comfortable" starting, i.e. Lindgren and Mitchell, aren't good enough at it to even be used at all anymore.
