I think he has much more upside than Maroth. -Sam Durbin’s minor league numbers support the fact that he should be a pretty good major league pitcher. I think he has much more upside than Maroth.

Based on his makeup, he's actually becoming a better pitcher. I believe he won't have the typical slide and will be good for the rest of this year.

By having Kenny replace Durbin in June/July, we can avoid Durbin's likely slide.

I like Mike just as much as the next guy, but his Whip is far worse than Durbins and you have to go with your best 5 starters. -Sam I think you have to pull Maroth from the rotation.
