Padres Trail: Three and Five
"Here's a radical thought. If Kevin Correia continues to struggle, perhaps Tim Stauffer should get a crack at starting once he returns to the big club. Stauffer should be headed out on a rehab stint sometime late this week. Correia's four good innings per appearance would make for a very effective long man out of the bullpen. "

"I want Cunningham to stick. He's only 24. Compare that to the previously mentioned outfielder's ages of 30, 27, 27 and 29. Yeah, we're not exactly running out guys who have much room to improve. "

Something's up with Correia

His command just isn’t there and so far this year, he’s broken down in the 6th inning. I would say that he needs to go to the bullpen, but there really isn’t anyone (maybe Tim Stauffer if he wasn’t on the DL) who could fill in the rotation, and with CY, I think, lost for the year, again, the Padres should seriously consider getting another solid arm in the rotation.

After reading those articles

I tend to agree. He seems like he could be very valuable in the ’pen considering how bad he is in the 5th & 6th innings… and how good he is 1-4. They are conditioning Stauffy in the minors to get him back in “starter form”. But we need another guy who can give us, at the very least, a tandem starter with Correia. Its almost a given that a team will score a crooked number on him in the 5th and 6th innings.

I would seriously consider making a deal with the Mariners

In terms of pitching: Cliff Lee or Jason Vargas . Good ERA’s and both can take you deep into games.

Mujica for Lee, straight up.

Exactly.

Trading Mujica is the baseball equivilant of selling an eight ball that’s two grams legit and a gram and a half of creatine.
