He should be in the bullpen. Knowing the Genius of Geren, he will be #2.

The "#" a pitcher actually is in the rotation is pretty irrelevant.

But in a 1-2 ace combo you'd think the 1-2 part would be part of the requirements.

Not 1-4

Dutchee is the fourth best pitcher on the staff....soooo..

Generally, when I hear "1-2 ace combo", I think it means "the best two pitchers on the same team"....what order they actually pitch in, for one, really only stays the same for the first few games of the season, and for two, has too many factors that affect it so that the first two guys aren't always the best two.

Anderson, Sheets and who?

Cahill.

Cahill.

I think Cahill has the potential to be better, and will eventually be better, but I don't know if he definitely is right now.

[200tang]

I think this year he will be.

[HoustonGM]

Maybe.
