I feel better about our weekend rotation

[PMDawg]

I understand why we have Sims in the role we do, but I keep thinking a Fri/Sat/Sun of Sims, Macleoud, Bednar could be lethal. None of our starters seem to go much more than 4 innings anyway. I get that the problem would be leaving Smith as the only real inning eater. Cerentola may could take Smith's current role (assuming Smith takes the Sims role), and may actually excel in it. I think being a starter just gets in his head. One thing is certain, his problems are mostly mental.

ETA: Not sure where everyone else should be, but I think we have to move Hancock to 4th in the lineup. Rowdy probably should be one of 2nd, 3rd, or 5th, but not 1st.

I think right now you need to keep Sims in the pen. If we get quality starts from two of the three starters then it allows Sims to pitch in two games instead of just one. I think he eventually becomes a starter but right now I say keep him in that Girodo/Ross Mitchell role. Kind of like how the Indians used Andrew Miller in the 2016 playoffs.
