Off day

No game today.

What do you think of a six-man rotation? On the one hand, I wouldn't want to push too many young guys too far past the 175 inning mark. On the other hand, I wouldn't want to disrupt the preparation routines for a bunch of fatigued pitchers.

Either way, it's worth considering: how best do you end the season of a young starter playing for a 100-loss team? Dejan Kovacevic explains that the Pirates have had a policy of not advancing a starter's inning count by more than 20 from the previous year's total.

Perhaps Ryan Vogelsong can come up and start every game after September 15.
