Will Duchsch get a shot at the rotation in 2005? Anybody know? I can't imagine Redman will get the nod over him after how bad he's been. It's always nice to have a lefty out of the bullpen anyways..... right?

I'm not sure about the solidity of this point. Duchscherer was comparable to Harden for a very short period of time. I will be very surprised if The Duke starts the season in the Athletic's rotation.

B. What do you do with Redman if Duke starts? You may not like Redman, but he's too good and still too young to turn into a middle reliever. Duke can wait awhile. One of the 4 arms is probably gonna get injured sometime next year. At that point that they can start him and see how it goes.
