Jamie Moyer Complaining About Move to Bullpen?
Pretty lame in my opinion. I mean I get where he's coming from; they told him this wouldn't happen... but who could have seen 1) Blanton and Happ's emergence 2) Lee trade 3) Pedro signing coming?
Seems pretty selfish to me for him to speak up about this. He has SUCKED this year. Pedro was obviously signed to be given a chance in the starting rotation, and was a great gamble for Philly. Someone had to go.
You have your young ace Cole Hamels and last year's Cy Young winner and ace in Cliff Lee that obviously aren't going anywhere. That leaves...
Blanton: 132 IP, 111 Ks, 4.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP
Happ: 115 IP, 86 Ks, 2.74 ERA, 1.12 WHIP
Moyer: 123 IP, 69 Ks, 5.47 ERA, 1.51 WHIP
Does Moyer really think him staying in the rotation gives the team the best chance to win? I know it sucks, but what ever happened to "doing what is best for the team?"
