Serious question … who’s the better pitcher right now: Trevor Hoffman or Barry Zito?

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore?gid=280416126

I think Zito could finish the year 2-18 … and that’s assuming that the Giants score a lot of runs in 2 of his starts … which seems bound to happen …

#20, #21 : Headley is currently hitting 245/327/347 with 1 HR in 49 ABs… so he’s not exactly forcing anybody’s hand at this point.

24: I have never been a fan of seeing starters rehab out of the bullpen, but it may be our only choice with Prior.

OT … WC @ BP reports this about Randy Johnson …

It was good to see The Big Unit back on the mound, throwing low-90s heat and snapping off sliders. It was better to hear that he had normal soreness after the start. Even better than that was hearing that he had no pain or swelling the next day in either his pitching arm or his surgically-repaired back. His control was a little shaky, especially early and with the fastball, intimating that there’s some searching for a release point and a comfort level. Johnson’s next scheduled to take the mound on Sunday against the Padres. I’d expect him to both make the start and make some progress with his command. All in all, it was exactly what the D’backs wanted to see from the veteran.

… we’ve been warned … Sunday’s game will be Wolf’s next start … on 4 days rest …

#12@LynchMob: Bud ducked my questions … I submited a question about the 12-man pitching staff and one about Heath Bell’s drop in velocity … he got a few good questions … but many fluffy ones …
