There are certain players who seem to get ripped a lot for no obvious reason and he has been one of them. I'm very pleased that he has pitched two great games in a row. I agree with Jeff's asessment of Robertson. Lee I agree Robertson has been criticized too much.

Robertson and Maroth have both been much more consistent. You have to wonder if Rogers has had something to do with that. 14-9. I am very pleased thus far, even with the two miserable shutouts I got to see in Anaheim. I saw Toledo play four times last week in North Carolina. Unfortunately I did not see Miner pitch. I did see Ledezma against Durham and he looked excellent. Good velocity and control. Woodyard threw one pitch to BJ Upton, a game-ending grand slam. Durbin looked good and Lewis did ok. He does not, however, have 92-93 stuff back yet. The hitting looks pretty bad. No power to speak of apart from Phelps and he was whiffing like mad. Hessman generates a lot of wind as well. Ludwick can hit a little. Hannahan got a bunch of hits and played 3b, 2b, 1b and LF. Making him a utility guy? Hessman played 3b most games; but Hannahan is a lot better defender. Kelly looked good but then got hurt. All in all I'd say they are a .500 team, maybe less. Certainly the top talent is in the lower minors. I liked the 7 walks tonight.

He has just enough stuff to dazzle you on a good day, but not enough to do it on a regular basis. I'm ok with that though. Every team needs a couple decent arms to round out the rotation. <blockquote>I don

Robertson has received a good deal of grief.
