Question:Tony Armas
Shawn Chacon
Jim Tracy
Pittsburgh Pirates
Answers:
What pitches does Dice-K throw?
Armas has had plenty of chances to show he is a quality starting pitcher. He has failed. On the other hand, Chacon has pitched brilliantly and after today's performance, deserves the chance to start for the Bucs. Armas has not lasted more than 5 innings all season, where Chacon pitched 2-hit ball over 5 innings today and threw less pitches in 5 innings than Armas did in 3 innings. It worked out well today, but I think the two need to switch rolls and see what happens.Can the Tampa Bay Devil Rays win the world series this year?
I would Chacon is good when he gets a chance. I mean yea he struggled in Colarado but that place is a huge hitter's park. While in his short stay[too bad not longer] in New York he was good especially in 2005. I mean yea he is kind of streaky but he is 29 and will be a great 4 or 5 started especially on the lowly pirates. Also he is phenomonal at least for a pirate pitcher right now. So if I was Tracy I will give him a chance since he is doing great and is striking a lot of people[for mrp]Wait... they still play baseball in Pittsburgh?
