He's pitching well and has a much better arm than Sherrill. Sherrill always has bad springs so he'll get a look before he is dropped...but the pen, IMHO, should start the season as:
League/Wilhelmson/Sherrill/Camp/Kelley/Luetge/Furbush
and the rotation should be:
Hernandez/Vargas/Noesi/Ramirez/Beavan
Millwood was a nice idea for clubhouse leadership, but he has no place on this club going forward...Noesi and Ramirez do and we might as well give Beavan a shot to improve his change-speed game while we wait for the goodies...Beavan has more chance to build up trade value than the old guy or the old Japanese pitcher with the fifty gazillion ST ERA. Time to cut bait on the old guys and just go with the kids.
