Comments on: Could Jacob Turner be the Tigers rotation answer? http://www.dailyfungo.com/2011/07/15/could-jacob-turner-be-the-tigers-rotation-answer/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:33:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.dailyfungo.com/2011/07/15/could-jacob-turner-be-the-tigers-rotation-answer/comment-page-1/#comment-101948 Anonymous Sat, 16 Jul 2011 17:52:48 +0000 http://www.dailyfungo.com/?p=6360#comment-101948 Since we don't have a good option for a fifth starter, we might as well set up the rotation schedule in the order of 5-1-2-3-4 or even 5-4-1-2-3. The idea is that, since we're probably going to lose the games involving the back end of our rotation anyway, we might as well use them to burn off the starts of other teams' best starters. By doing this, we get better match-ups in the remaining games, which would actually help the overall W-L record. (Remember, having 3 close wins for every 2 blowouts throughout an entire season is good enough for 97 wins.)

The Tigers have about two legit prospects, I don't think they need to go all Andrew Miller with Turner. Even if it weren't rushing him, it's very much an open question whether Turner would help the club. You're gonna need a lot better evidence then "Michael Pineda is doing fine" to convince me.
