A's Fifth Starter Never Was the Problem !

OAKLAND (March 28) – Oakland Super-Sub Marco Scutaro has more than adequately filled some big holes in the A’s line-up over the last three seasons.

But can he pitch?

If you followed the papers this spring, everybody but the bat boy and Erubiel Durazo were being considered to fill the last spot in the rotation.
A friend who probably reads the Chronicle too much asked me the other day my opinion concerning fifth starting pitcher "controversy."
Komine or Windsor, Duke, or even B.K. Kim? Nah. It was always Kennedy. And, now it appears that this non-issue will not travel north with the A’s as they break camp in Arizona, to the dismay of Bay Area baseball writers, who seemed to run out of Mark Kotsay inspiration stories and Tommy LaSorda-discovering-Mike Piazza anecdotes about two weeks ago.

Mesa, Arizona
Take a good look at Alex Rodriguez in a Yankee uniform this season. He won’t be back in the Bronx next year.
With A Rod challenging the tough New York fans to show him love before he decides whether or not to opt out of the remaining years of his contract, he is all but gone.
Advice to Alex: Don’t mess with the fans in New York, it’s a battle you won’t win.
A Rod’s agent Scott Boras rolled the dice with JD Drew in Los Angeles in a similar situation getting Drew a more lucrative multi year deal with the Red Sox. Look for Boras to guide Rodriguez to the Angels, Giants, or Cubs in ’08.
