It's NOT that I dont love Correia. In fact, he has WAY oversurprised, with his rapid rise last year, his good pitching at SF last year, and his good pitching in ST this season.

BUT THE POINT IS:

Correia needs more seasoning at AAA. 2-3 months this season.

Of course, Mikey and I said the same thing last year about Foppert. What do we know? Had he gotten more seasoning at AAA last year (injuries to starters at SF prevented it), he MIGHT NOT have blown out his arm.

Dont rush Correia. Dont rush anyone. I have Correia pencilled in as a starter in 2005 and 2006. See the other board.

I also figure Correia will be in SF in June or July of this year to fill in for an existing starter that is injured or not doing well.

Dont rush our minor league pitchers. DEVELOP THEM.
