He has shown he is ready for the rotation, and they will wait until they can bring him up to start. They are more likely, in my opinion, to bring up Wilson, Sadler, Misch, if one of them shows they're ready - which so far they haven't done. I don't see any changes for a couple of weeks. We'll have to see what transpites over that time. I don’t think they’ll bring Linececum up as a RP. He has shown he is ready for the rotation, and they will wait until they can bring him up to start.

I like Correia as the 8th inning guy. He had some hard luck last night with the swinging bunt for a base hit that he had to stick in his pocket. I would work Correia and Sanchez as the 8th innings guys. Chulk has good stuff but seems to have trouble producing. I think my largest fear is that they're going to bring up Lincecum and use him in the bullpen. If they are going to call him up, I think he should be starting. Hey Frank,

We know the rockies closer, Fuentes, is LH. So, we want some RH pinch hitters on the bench. One way of doing that, is to start your LH hitting position players, then, voila, there are your better hitting RH hitters to choose from. I understand the holding back of Niekro in the 9th inning. Hitting him for Roberts does nothing, as roberts/Niekro would be followed by Omar. Bochy needs someone to get on ahead of Niekro, so Niekro has a chance to tie the game if he hits it out. It looks to me like Bochy doesn't yet know what he has in the pen, what the roles are. I mean, can you say who the 8th inning guys are? I thought Chulk was the 7th inning guy, Correia/Kline (maybe even Sanchez) the 8th inning tandem. So, why is Chulk starting the 8th? Unless there is some health issue we con't know about, I think he should start the inning with Correia, and have Kline or Sanchez ready for the LH hitter. I think the failing starter much earlier.
