Cubs' Prospects FUTUREBONER thread

[Quality Start Machine]

If Wada's in a close game and about to face a righty in his third turn and he looks like he usually does, you look down at your list of relievers and you pick the best one for the situation you've got. That might be C.J. Fucking Edwards. Or maybe C.J threw two innings the day before and one inning the day before that and he's in tennis shoes today. You're gonna pick another guy who isn't Brian Schlitter. Let's call him Neil Ramirez. Or let's call him Travis Wood.

What you don't want to do is save Edwards for the Wada start if you need him the two days prior. I think we all agree that we want the best pitcher available in a high leverage situation. Calling a guy and 8th or 9th inning guy is antiquated. Calling a guy Wada's Caddie is dumber than a Phil Rogers, Al Yellon, Gordo think tank.

Truth. I guess the most general way to say it is that Edwards seems like the best candidate to both strand inherited runners AND pitch multiple innings, and that's a nice thing to have, regardless of which innings you're asking him to pitch and who started that day.

Considering this guy has never faced a batter in a big league game, I'm going to deploy the "Slow down, Cowboy" argument, and see how this all plays out.
