I’ve always had high hopes for Tazawa, and it seems he has battled back from his injury quite well.

I miss Tazawa as a starter

Tazawa hasn't pitched games w/out having at least...

3 days rest.

If you want to make him a bullpen piece for 2012, better get on it.

I'm assuming Ben meant for September

I don’t see why they’d make him a 2012 bullpen piece when he could be a perfectly viable rotation piece.

I don't think that will be a problem really.

Seems to me they’ve been piggy backing him as essentially a second starter in games, he hasn’t pitched less than 2 innings in a while. If we brought him down to an actual reliever load I can’t imagine it would be hard to cut down his rest days.

The conversion for starters last year took all of about two weeks.

What's the Sept 1 roster/Post season rule?

It’s impacted somehow by 60-day DL guys, but I can’t keep it straight.

Let's just ask Michael Bowden how its done

Starter. Reliever. Starter. Reliever. Starter. Reliever….who knows.

I sometimes think we just treated just as long relievers/starters

and then we say such guys are “versatile” simply because that’s how they got used.

Was a bad day for Doubront

It’s a shame no one wanted Oki, tired of seeing him on the minor lines doing so well and not wanting a call up.

eh, lets remember, so much of his ability comes from deception

I somehow doubt he’d be putting up numbers anything like that in the majors, where they’ve seen him before. Cafardo says they’re considering a September callup, but just considering it.
