03/25: The Aftermath of Wang
Posted by: Patrick
I'm bummed about Wang going down. I was looking forward to seeing a home grown, 27 year old coming off a Cy quality season, getting the start on opening day.
There are two main implications here. First, Peter Abraham says (noting that he'll be pitching on 643 days rest) that it looks like Carl Pavano will be your opening day starter.
The other one is that Spring Training hot (and solid last year) Jeff Karstens is now lined up for the 5th spot in the rotation. Karstens is 24. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does in the rotation to start the season. I suppose that's a positive here. (Or, hopefully, it will be).
