Nomonalysis At Mariners Wheelhouse
Stephen at Mariners Wheelhouse does a very nice analysis of Nomo's situation. In short, we need another starter, and while Garcia might be that guy, I'm skeptical; the real problems we face are that (1) Brown's departure has not been adequately addressed, and (2) Nomo collapsed a year earlier than anyone foresaw. Hideo might be on his way back -- certainly, the game versus the Yankees was a positive sign -- but I wouldn't bet that way. Once again, the starting rotation is in as much disarray as when Dan Evans first took the reins at the end of 2001. Alvarez really can't handle the workload, Jeff Weaver and Jose Lima are horribly inconsistent, Ishii fades and throws too many pitches, and Perez might be gone at the end of the year (and has consistency problems of his own). 2005 should be interesting in the Chinese sense.
