Even if Blanton comes back and is healthy, a healthy Blanton doesn’t go as deep into games as a healthy Oswalt. We shouldn’t be expecting Worley or Kendrick to rack up big numbers of innings, especially if Kendrick isn’t geared up to be a starter. I do think one place where Piniero might be able to help the Phils some is by going deeper into games in starts than Worley or Kendrick will likely be able to in 2012.

I doubt that we can expect that to continue. The talk last year as I remember it was a lot about whether the starters were being over pitched. They did not seem to suffer because of those innings, but one wonders how many years they can keep doing that, given that they are all a year older.
