BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2011-10-17 13:00:00	Speaking of timetables for prospects, do you think the Cardinals were gaming the system by keeping Lance Lynn on the 60-day DL until the last minute, so he could come back and be a healthy fire-breathing reliever against dinged-up hitters? Or was that use of the 60-day legitimate? How good is he going to be? (Bill from New Mexico)	I don't see what's wrong with gaming the system if it's there to be gamed. That's just smart management. I like Lynn out of the bullpen, but still would like to see him as a starter. No. 4 type. (Kevin Goldstein)
2011-07-21 13:00:00	Does Lance Lynn have the potential to be a legit closer? (John from IL)	Haven't seen enough personally, but from what I hear 7th inning guy is a more likely fit. Why doesn't anyone talk about their rotation issues in 3-4-5 spot? (Mike Ferrin)
2011-03-02 13:00:00	Thanks for chattin'; I think you may be overestimating the likelihood of McClellan's shifting to the rotation, CK. Lance Lynn was very good in AAA over his final dozen starts (83-20 K-BB in 73 innings), and Duncan likes him. (Bob from Malibu)	Believe me, that's my very point from my column last week: Lynn should be the best choice, especially with last year's boosted velocity on top of the better second-half results. But if they hold up McClellan for some media misdirection over the next couple of weeks, until Lynn wins the job without the immediate pressure of "YOU WILL REPLACE ADAM WAINWRIGHT!", I can't say I blame them. (Christina Kahrl)
