Really? Rosales and not Sizemore? I thought they wanted more offense.

Changed it. They went to Rosales a few times in a row early but it's been mostly Sizemore the past week.

Jason,

The starting rotation should look like this:

Cahill, Outman, Gonzalez, Godfrey, and Moscoso

In addition, the A's have no true long reliever. Joey Devine is by no chance a long reliever. He is a middle reliever.

Did they send Outman down because he has options left? Why did they keep Moscoso over Outman when Mccarthy returned?

Jason - MLBDepthCharts.com said... July 6, 2011 at 11:36 AM  

Not sure on that one. I think Moscosco has options, too. But both have pitched pretty well so it may have just been their preference to keep Moscosco, maybe because he could be also be moved to the 'pen when Ross returns.
