call it a career. wonder what he studied in college.

Uugggghhhh.

how does this even happen? this is why I really hated the comments by kendrick last year on drew. you make a guy feel guilty for being hurt for so long, so what do they do, push themselves more than they should be and reinjure themselves.

Drew had been cleared to play for a long time, but being a Scott Boras client, he was not allowed to play until Scott said he could. Scott wanted to make sure he got enough work in prior to returning so his numbers looked good to get a new deal. Drew was healthy 2 months before he came back. Kendrick was spot on IMHO.

Hudson wasn't pushing himself. He was following the typical rehab schedule of any baseball player who has had TJ surgery.

Kendrick said what he said last season about drew because he was dogging it in his rehab. He was medically clear for ~2months before he returned. The two are mutually exclusive.

Feel so bad for Hudson but love his attitude.

Adversity is a fact of life. It can’t be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it. Fall down seven times, stand up eight

We may see Bradley sooner than we thought.

No way. He won't be up until after the All-Star game next year, the earliest.

Is that your opinion, or have you heard something? Just asking.

I now see why ARZ went with 2 college SP's with their first two picks in the draft. ARZ's farm system is known for its pitching depth but no one knows when injuries will come along and take away from that depth.

Do not be surprised at all to see a July or August call up if Kennedy and Cahill continue to throw the way they're throwing. The other RH rotation alternatives are Josh Collmenter and Randall Delgado, and the D-Backs like how Collmenter fits in the bullpen.

It's either that or make a trade, and the D-Backs don't have much to offer unless they're willing to part with prospects.

Can anyone remember the last playoff team that had 3 lefties in the rotation? If the D-Backs hadn't parted with Omar Daal in 2000, they would have had RJ, Daal and Brian Anderson in the rotation. Instead we got ... Miguel Batista and Robert Ellis. Good grief. The SP after the Big 2 was really mediocre.

Wasn't Todd Stottlemyre supposed to be the #3 guy and could never get healthy?

You slot him in there, move Anderson down to 4 and Batista to 5, and its actually really good.

Plus how can you not love Brian Anderson, a man who burnt his face on an iron because he was trying to figure out if it was hot or not.

In the unwritten baseball dictionary, under "Mediocre Left-Handed Pitcher," is a sketch of Brian Anderson. Guy worked hard, but he was what he was what he was: 120 innings a year of left-handed vanilla.

Stottlemyre never could get healthy. He was also a hothead who almost personally derailed the D-Backs vs. the Giants. Most pitchers keep lists. Stott had an elephant's memory, and he would have thrown at his own grandmother for not sending enough money in his birthday card.
