This can only help Mr. Holland’s future bank account…

Holland for Jurrjens straight up?

Why?

for either side. Why would Texas give up a promising young arm, who won’t be arb eligible until after next season if I’m not mistaken, for an older, more expensive arm? Why would we want more pitching when we’re flush there, and need a SS and corner OF above all else?

So we can have

9 INNINGS OF JONNY VENTERS.

Heck...

Given how Fredi likes to use Venters, we’d actually get “Venters” for around 54 or 63 innings a week!

Wowzers!

I was sort of halfway kidding…

Should have guessed...

sorry. But for the “halfway” see above.

Venters back to the rotation?

no, I like Venters in our bullpen just fine

He wasn't this pitcher as a starter

So he wouldn’t be the same guy in the rotation.

to be fair, Venters didn’t become Venters until he figured out how to throw that turbo sinker…you never know whether he can succeed as the starter NOW
