And it's not like the other candidates are blowing people away.

How can he not be better option than Stults or Estes if Schmidt is injured? Yet I never see him mentioned. At what point does James McDonald became an option for the Dodgers in the 5th spot?

Not to mention his K/9 rate was consistently below 7 through 1999, when it progressed upwards over 10 Ks per 9 by 2004. I'm sure he just continued to improve, a la Barry Bonds.

Would be nice to see him bounce back but he may very well wind up in the bargain bin when it's all said and done. It’s too bad that Schmidt’s injury sidelined him to the extent that he has.
