It’s blasphemous to even suggest this amongst Colorado Rockies fans, bloggers, writers, and “experts,” but what if the team has, ya know, a halfway decent pitcher in Yohan Flande? I get a lot of tweets about Flande not being a big leaguer, and yet the more I see from him, the more I wonder… really?
