Here's to progress with young pitching

It wasn't the first half we would have liked to see. But, the influx of young arms into the rotation is fun to watch.

I hate losing like any other competitor. Losing is...well, it's losing. That means it's not winning. But this season is much more about the starting rotation than it is about the record.

It was good to see guys like Bergesen, Berken and Hernandez in the rotation.

Guys like Tillman and Arietta are ready to make the jump. So, it should be fun to see the rotation start to take shape for 2010.

Come on out to the park and see what the kids can do.
