Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4652582, member: 12210"] I'll make a case for Sears to remain in the rotation and it's all about risk-reward. And it's simply because his ceiling is so high and the risk-reward is skewed positive so I'm willing to embrace the variance. Yes, there is a risk, no question, but the upside (see G'Town and SDSU games) is worth a shot given the current state of the rotation versus say Sully whose ceiling is 4-5 innings giving up 2-3 runs. Unfavorable risk/reward with Sully. Also, agree with you on Cookie. SQuigs, Sears then new blood is my vote. If Coe can throw strikes early in the count he is tough to hit. That's the risk there. Fogell also definitely in the conversation as well. The ceiling for those 2 are 5-6 innings and 1-2 runs. Ellison, I'm iffy on due to that Northeastern game. A good fastball-hitting team will give him problems so he's matchup dependent in my view. But again I'm open to change because you can't keep rolling out the same guys and getting the same results.
