Is this Lou coming out and saying that Harden is going to be used even less than after he cam over last year? Or, is this him saying that Marshall is not going to be expected to go every fifth day? Or, is it a combination of both? As it stands right now I would think that Shark would have to have a leg up in the heated competition for sixth starter. It seems that Lou has even called him the sixth starter this spring.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'd hope they don't use Harden more than 3 times a month, despite this 25+ starts crap they've been spewing. I mean that even if he's healthy all year too. The fact that Marshall's never thrown over 125 innings is obviously a concern as well, so yeah I think it's a combination of both. I've been saying all offseason we need 6 starting pitchers, and that's why I wanted to keep Marquis and use Marshall as the #6. I agree that it will probably be Shark. I think he'll start off in Iowa so he can stay stretched out rather than being in the pen, and then we'll call him up when need be.
