Well, this afternoon it was announced that R.A. Dickey had won the battle for the fifth starter spot. That means our 2006 starting rotation is now..
Kevin Milwood
Adam Eaton
Vicente Padilla
Kameron Loe
R.A. Dickey
That’s not too bad given the way our rotation has looked the last few years. Hopefully they all stay healthy. Forget that. In Wednesday afternoon’s game, Adam Eaton had to leave due to injury, and will be going for an MRI. From the initial response, it looks like he’ll be on the DL to start the season. Sigh.
I wonder if Atlanta will send us John Thompson for some bullpen help? That would be fine with me. :)
