More the Merrier

I've got two eyes on baby watch, two ears on the radio.
Chiming in just to say this: I like the idea of initially going with a six-man rotation to accommodate the return of John Smoltz.

Or arrival, I should say.

A fair deal all around.
Take a spin or two around the six-man block and see who earns keep and who earns a push to the bullpen.
Because it's not a given that Smoltz is going to tear it up, though with his track record you've got to believe that he will.

Tell you another thing, I'm really starting to like Brad Penny. He's throwing too well to just trade off to free up roster space. Remember '06 and the lesson of Bronson Arroyo.
You can never have too much pitching, and the last thing I want to see is some half-assed deal that brings in another Wily Mo Pena.

The front office is to sharp to make the same mistake twice.
