Rain delay theatre: I thought I posted this rant here, but mistakenly did on another thread-- so... Here's the deal: It's Park's 1st year, Sano's 1st full year, Arcia may be in his 1st full year, and shows good signs, Rosario, Esco, Santana, getting into a 2nd year of starting. Dozey is even learning to hit to right once in a while. Bux and Kep should be honing their strokes in both their 1st year in AAA. The 3 pitchers who just came up have a ton of promise, and of all those college relievers we've got stocked, one or two of them should shine enough to be up this year. I don't mind a 70- win season, letting the kids cut their teeth. I don't mind getting our brains beat in, as long as we have development happening. I remember '82- horrible record, but wow, what a bunch of young'uns who flashed terrific play. I remember that tease of success in '84, and another crappy record in '86, but you knew what was coming-- when '87 happened, it was no surprise to me. This team's youngsters are giving me that same kind of mid-80s hope, and dammit, they've got to play. The Twinks as they opened the season are not constructed to contend. And this opening month so far bears that out in spades. But there, in the dugout, sits Molly- and along side him sit the kids who should be prepping for playoff runs within the next couple of years. And too often they sit.... and sit..... and sit..... I want all 3 of those arms having a shot in the rotation- now. If our hitters develop, and the pitchers are years behind them- forget about contending any time soon. Molly: Free the Children!!!!
