Bailey is tearing it up, and I've been documented as saying he is prime for his breakout year. Bailey
Willis
Volquez
Arroyo
LeCure
Speaking of the pen: Using the same, statistical approach, the relievers should shake out like this: (in no particular order)
Coco
Chapman
Arrendondo
Bray
Ondrusek
Fischer
Masset

Tearing it up? Where, when? Bailey has pitched well against bottom feeders in the bigs and vs. AAA hitters, where else has he torn it up?
And Willis? Really you can not be serious? Yes early in his career he did well, but that is way in his past. At best he is a situation middle inning reliever right now, at worse he is an independent league pitcher.
Leaving Chapman in the bullpen is the greatest waste of talent maybe ever in major league baseball. You have a kid with an incredible arm who just needs some work on arm strength and the ability to throw a thrid pitch for a strike and you want him in the bullpen throwing an inning here and an inning there every other day or every 3rd or 4th day?
