Seeing Red
St. Louis shells Astros pitcher Tim Redding. The Houston hurler drops to 0-3 after allowing four HRs.
The boys at Orange Whoopass (where I've tried to register, without success, about four times) wonder what to do with Redding?
I've felt since Spring Training that Redding was just keeping the five-spot in the rotation warm until Carlos Hernandez was ready to assume the role. He's 2-0 with an 0.84 ERA through two starts in New Orleans.
Whether Hernandez is the answer or not (Brandon Duckworth looks to be next in line, with Andy Pettitte due back next week), I think three awful starts for Redding means that someone else should get an opportunity.
