A quick look at the rosters/stats shows that we're either going to have to live with Cotts as our only lefty or trade for someone. Unless a guy starts really having a great season, there's no one in AAA/AA/A+ ready.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What about Wadell?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Exactly. What about him makes you think he's better than any of the guys currently here that he would take their roster spot? I don't think he's ready. He has 4 innings pitched and while he hasn't given up a run, he's given up 5 hits and only struck out 2. Not making me think he's ready yet.

My desire to see Waddell has less to do with my confidence in him and more to do with my hatred of Cotts.
