We've signed some experience to replace him...there is mentorship for the young pitchers.<BR/><BR/>What we've not had a lot of is talent. Leadership is important for sure...but if you can't pitch I can't lead you to be able to. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes talent can overcome a loss of leadership. In our case there are so many guys looking good in Spring Training that the loss of Riske is looking pretty acceptable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11922808.post-43406400982636736632008-03-04T22:17:00.000-06:002008-03-04T22:17:00.000-06:00Thanks for stopping by...I didn't originally enabl...Thanks for stopping by...I didn't originally enable comments, so that's one reason not as many people comment as I'd like. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the pitching. I love the fact that we aren't going to be stuck throwing a guy into the fourth or fifth spot in the rotation simply because we don't have anybody else. And our bullpen looks to be solid again, although I think we are going to miss David Riske.Lee Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017140298065755618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11922808.post-45438659699613155292008-03-04T20:11:00.000-06:002008-03-04T20:11:00.000-06:00I read your blog all the time though no one seems ...I read your blog all the time though no one seems to post here. :(<BR/><BR/>Keep 'em coming I think they're excellent.<BR/><BR/>I'm excited about the pitching competition this spring. Like any other time though, people with options have less of a chance.<BR/><BR/>Signing Maroth to a minor league deal was a great move as I think he's under-rated. I'm hoping Davies continues to improve as well.<BR/><BR/>Overall an exciting spring and I can't wait for opening day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
