Do the Dodgers play only 4 starting pitchers?

[PG3]

1. Derek Lowe
2. Randy Wolf
3. Jason Schmidt
4. Brad Penny

So theyre just gonna have 4 pitchers in their rotation?

[themaster07]

Well, usually the 1st portion of the season it's 4 starter. Towards the second half of the season is where the 5th usually come into play.

we'er so deep this year... keep it healthy

[PG3]

and the 5th is gonna be Tomko

he's not bad. But wouldn't be Billingsley be better as a starting pitcher instead? I heard some of the analysts say from last year that the dodger organization really sees a lot in him.

[1.22.06]

Yes, I do wish it was Billingsley, but Tomko is slated to start tomorrow and he's been throwing long BP sessions to get his arm revved up for a starting pitching role. It's on yahoo somewhere.

[PG3]

wow. Tomko was pretty solid last night. And Billingsley was s***! Just be glad im not the manager.

[1.22.06]

lol tomko used to be a SP in SF

[methius]

Either Tomko, Hendrickson, or Billingsley take up that last spot.

[1.22.06]

Hendrickson is trash.

That's tomko's spot. He had some early success with it last year as well, but kinda tailed off at the end.
