Sean Burnett To Starting Rotation?

Sorry BeatemBucs... I don't think Burnett should be in the rotation.  As a matter of fact, I don't think Burnett should be on the 40 man roster.  He's a liability every time he takes the mound.

Dumatrait has been on and off so far.  His last start off the DL was by no means stellar, but it was also his first in a while.  Let's see how he does Sunday against Wellemeyer. 

My biggest issue with the starting rotation (today anyway) is Johnny V.  This guy is like the Hydra from Greek Mythology- you cut off a head and it keeps coming back!  How many chances is this guy going to get?  He's a career 2-12 pitcher with a 9+ ERA!- hello... management- this guy isn't good!!!

I would think that Taubenheim's start should have at least earned him start #2.  I'm not saying that you plug him in the rotation, but it's worth a look, isn't it? 

Taubenheim is on the AAA DL with a minor sore elbow problem.

I wouldn't say Burnett is worthless he has only allowed 1 ER in his last 10 IP over 8 appearances out of the pen. That's a lot better than most of our relievers.

Good call on Taubenheim- I didn't know he was on the DL.  I'm still not a Johnny V fan... this is directly from the Sportsline preview of tonight's game:

Van Benschoten (1-2, 10.64 ERA) owns the worst career ERA (9.04) in baseball history among pitchers with at least 75 innings of work. The right-hander, a first-round draft pick in 2001, is 1-10 with an 8.82 ERA in 16 career starts, with the lone win coming at home against Houston on Sept. 10, 2004.

WHY???  Why is he on the mound?

And good points about Sean Burnett.  He has pitched better recently.  I'm juts not sold on him.  I think he's damaged goods...
