Drop Kuroda for Bauer?

Postby jamesmeg » Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:21 am

Bauer is supposed to called up "soon."

Would he be a big upgrade or not so much?

In a twist IP is a category and there is a limit on moves in the league.

Ok Sox fan here so maybe a little biased in my response. But Kuroda.... yuck.

I was happy when the Yanks signed him because I thought he would get wrecked in the AL and that has been so true. I would add Bauer even with the IP being a category. He does have some command problems so he might not be going super deep into games, but I can see a pitcher who will go 6 or 7 innings per start while limiting the damage.

More than I can say about Kuroda.

Sure, you can take a shot. But no, don't expect him to be a "big upgrade."

Take yoru shot on a back end starter especially in a keeper.
