How many more opportunities do you give Maldonado before moving him back to the bullpen? If he does eventually move back to the pen, does Reilly get the nod for Sundays over Futrell to avoid having two freshmen southpaws in the weekend rotation?
We’re just under two weeks from our SEC opener against Missourah (spits)—and no, I have no idea why we open conference play against a Big XII team—so I’d say this weekend against Wagner is likely Maldo’s last chance to make his case as a starter. Of course, you know I would put Futrell (or Reilly or Little) in the Sunday slot over Maldo based on how the pitching staff has performed up to now.
