Morales was the guy who I thought would give Doubront a run for his money in Spring Training for the fifth starter role. Here's hoping he keeps pushing and improving so at the very least they have another potential starter if the velo/control remains sketchy for Felix.

Martin activated by Pawtucket, Villareal placed on DL, per PawSox.

MiLB has Salem as a 7:05pm start - and nothing shows up in the box score right now.

Within a month, De La Rosa might be pushing for that #5 slot also, No?

I can't see any way DLR gets ahead of Webster on the depth chart. You can't have a guy coming off rehab pitching down the stretch for a team that will need innings. Also, let's see him keep his command a few more months. Webster had one bad start.

RDLR is a more likely bullpen candidate for this year, I would think.

Morales pitched pretty well in three innings of work, 4/0 K/BB and two hits, giving up one run on a solo shot.
Also, Lars Anderson sighting. Just barely cresting a .500 OPS at the moment with bad-to-terrible K/BB numbers. Oh well.

Not saying De La Rosa jumps ahead of Webster in the depth chart but he does have some mlb experience and he is pretty close to being able to pitch again i would think. Didn't he pitch a little in the majors last year and have his surgery in 2011? When they first made the trade De La Rosa was more highly regarded by some than Webster. One of his biggest problems is that he has never thrown many innings at any level. He advanced very quickly considering how many innings he has pitched in the minors. From looking at his numbers, I don't see how he does give us much more than 100 innings this year, even including the minors.

That's your answer. RP innings aren't the same as SP innings either, so to put a guy on an innings limit in a situation you want him to pitch consistently (before September) doesn't make much sense. For the record in 2012 Webster had 130 IP, and 145 in 2011, so he should be getting close to having some constraints taken off.
Very interested in the Morales direction. I didn't think he'd get a fair chance to start, with Aceves/Lackey/Doubrant all going for it. A couple of those guys rapidly are taking themselves out of consideration.
