---After being bumped from the Philles rotation after just three bad starts Brett Myers notched his first save last night with Tom Gordon on the 15 day DL with a hurt throwing rotator cuff.
Though Myers was posting the best k/9 ratio of his career he was moved to the bullpen because of his loss of control as well as his 1.8 hr/9 rate. These stats have never been a problem for myers in his career, and theres no reason to belive that they should start now. However his stats in the bulpen have been better than ever. Myers is only 26. If Gordon is out for an extended period of time he could be an elite closer. But keep him anyway becuase i have a feeling we will see him back in the rotation.
--- It looks like Henry Owens is the real deal in Florida notching 4 saves since the removal of Jorge Julio. Taylor Tankersly looks like the set up guy. Forget about Julio...
--- There could be no better time to buy low on Mark Texiera hitting 3 HR in the last week while still keeping his stats dissapointing to an unaware owner.
-- One final note for today. Todd Lincecum will make his first Major league start tonight. The kid has amazing stuff. You could be looking at this years Dontrelle Willis so to speak. The game is supposed to be on ESPN tonight... Stay tuned...
