I would have liked to see Kendrick a little sharper today!!

Looks like you had it nailed — I don't agree with bringing Durbin north, though; they're hinging their hopes on four quality starts last year. And he had a 8.59 run support. I feel as if Blackley could've given them better (you are right about his control issues). Mick, good hearing from you.

My guess is that JD goes north(despite rough spring) unless a Helms deal is finalized for an arm Hi Tim–I think Blackley is history unless the Giants do not want him back—maybe the Phils then sign him to a minor league deal.He has got to find the plate.
