More nonsensical than nonsense especially when one cannot ever read? And reading is fundamental.<br /><br />Gee knucklehead, what would the starting rotation look like right now with Jordan Zimmermann in it instead of well, say Marquis? To use Rizzo's own words the guy is worth his weight in gold. Difficult to find and next to impossible to trade for. It is likely he will be out for at least a year and a half due to Tommy John's. With rehab and trying to get his pitching back its TWO YEARS. RIGHT? <br /><br />Oh I forgot your parents never taught you how to tell time?

No reason to compare him to Patterson and Hill who had MULTIPLE injuries each.<br /><br />Also you can add Lannan to the list with Livo. His first game was terrible but he was squeezed some in the game in New York and pitched really well against the Brewers. Looks like the Lannan of old to me.PDowdy83noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-53239541357964858562010-04-19T13:48:14.601-04:002010-04-19T13:48:14.601-04:00FAR too soon to say that Jordan Zimmermann's c...FAR too soon to say that Jordan Zimmermann's career has collapsed.

I remember three years ago when Shawn Hill (remember him?) had about a dozen quality starts and the Nats won about half of them because that team couldn't hit its way out of a paper bag (scored 672 runs, dead last in the NL). This team can sure hit and score runs, and can defend at least adequately, so it can hold its own if it gets even decent, let alone stellar, pitching.Steven J.
