Comments on: Lidge Injured: Now What? http://www.philscast.com/blog/2008/02/24/lidge-injured-now-what/ A die-hard, lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fan covers the team via his twice-weekly podcast and blog Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:45:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Bill http://www.philscast.com/blog/2008/02/24/lidge-injured-now-what/#comment-3 Bill Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:16:26 +0000 http://www.philscast.com/blog/2008/02/24/lidge-injured-now-what/#comment-3 I agree with resigning Kyle Lohse but not with moving Myers to the pen. I would sign Lohse because the middle of the rotation has questions with Kendrick and Moyer. If Kendrick can mature and remain effective, that would be great, but I have a memory of guys like Marty Bystom, Charles Hudson, Bruce Ruffin, Tyler Green, etc. For the short term, I would try Eaton in the pen. If the team could adjust him to that role, he could be a 6th or 7th inning option. Myers, although effective, is too good of a starter in a league that really is short of quality starting pitching. I know he loves the pen but he knows he is better for the team in the number two slot then out of the pen. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your podcasts. www.philliesphorum.mlblogs.com Thanks, Bill I agree with resigning Kyle Lohse but not with moving Myers to the pen.
