Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4358093, member: 2504"] I have always liked the idea of getting young talented pitchers into the starting rotation as soon as possible. That way you may have them in the starting rotation for at least a couple of years. However, with the number of transfers coming into the program (and others as well), this idea that Coach Penders practiced in the past may be changing. Very possible that transfers could end up filling the weekend starting rotation spots, but we'll see what happens. As for Brady Afthim, I'm not sure when the last time he was used as a starter, but given Chris Jones mentioning the possibility during game broadcasts last season, it certainly could happen. For an indication that this might happen, we'll have to see if Afthim is used as a starter when fall ball starts up at UConn in September. [/QUOTE]
