2008-05-09 14:00:00On the other hand, Hill can't locate the plate right now even with the help of Magellan. Mightn't sending him down for a bit to locate his control, so to speak, be not such a bad idea?
(squintsp34 from Chicago)		Yep, quite right. And I suppose as long as you give Lieber only a long enough leash to prove to yourself that he isn't really going to be a part of a division-winning rotation is nice to get out of the way now, rather than, say, let him play the role of Brian Lawrence with the '07 Mets.
