Right now I'd give it to Jose because Roy can't stay healthy. They are both right up there when both are on and healthy though.

Halladay won a Cy in 2003. Are we forgetting that Contreras has had exactly one good full season? Contreras is great but he really isn't in Halladay's league yet.

I'd let Jose start the ninth but take him out at trouble, although I don't think he'd have any.

 

I'd absolutely pull him. No reason to have him go more than 105 pitches in April with at least a 5 run lead heading into the 9th.

I don't think I like the idea. And I don't think Ozzie will either, he did the same thing with Buehrle on Friday. Buehrle should have/could have gone the last inning, but Ozzie took him out.

 

I say let the Bullpen get the inning.

I agree, especially when you have pitchers in the bullpen begging for some innings.

You know I don't agree with jphat on anything....but I would take Contreras over Roy H. at this moment. Roy has the injury issues, and Contreras is pitching with such confidence.

For this year, I'd take JC over Halladay, no question.

Politte should start the 9th...if he lets 2 guys get on, you bring in Cotts. If the tying run were to get up to the plate, you bring in Jenks.

I agree. I would take whomever can stay healthy but Halladay's last major injury was a bit fluky -- he got drilled in the leg by a line drive.

1)I said at this point in time, not in their career. I'm not trying to compare careers, and Jose has dominated this league since the break.

 

2)Jose only having 1 good season is a myth. In 03 he went 7-2 with a 3.30 ERA and 52 hits in 71 IP. He didn't start the whole year but that is pretty damn good.

Didn't he already have some arm issues this year that made him miss one start?

You aren't allowed to do that here, apparently. I said I'd take Buehrle over Santana at this time, and I got b****-slapped by about 5 or 6 people. Guess I'll keep my comments to myself at this point.

No you shouldn't. Say whatever you want to say, but the evidence is there showing Santana is the better pitcher.
