" However while -- Sparage we're talking baseball and for that we bring in foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal and -- Hamels. Had a tough year so far it's only April and Giguere is over eleven they got knocked out of his last start after getting hit left shoulder by a line drive. How concerned the Phillies be about their race."

" No question Randy they're concerned."

" And really should be concerned is that Cole Hamels this coming off -- season in which he threw 262. And 13 innings. Nearly eighty more than a year before. One young pitcher had that kind of eighties jump he'd have to be concerned about a possible to climb the following year. What complicated for Pavel is that because it -- won the World Series. He January or got resident was interrupted by various appearances."

" Things he had to do he's been very open about it he wasn't as ready for spring training as normally would have been. So when you throw all of these things together while only a handful of starts so far there's ample cause for concern."

" Or met a on Santana is off to a great dark but the game can't be -- for the rest of the mets' starting staff do you think the master. Look going to bring in a new arm via trade or. They have someone down the -- they can bring up."

" Brady hit a little early to be that -- trade obviously a point and right now they're best kind of -- on me is really struggling. First restart we're not good but ultimately you're absolutely right. This team is going to need more starting pitching."

" John Maine come up the surgery although Perez you'd never know what you're getting what it into the next one game to the next one seats for the next."

" And then beyond what Juan Hernandez well he's going to be a lot of Hernandez and my copy of course has been injured."

" So that is clearly a trouble spot for the Mets. And it's especially disturbing given that they've moved into what these pictures are that they don't have enough pitching."

" what's going problem watch an award nationals was miss out on some other -- immunity they. Finalized do for being five minutes late because it was a Little League event. And they all the worst record in baseball how bad things in the day."

" that but they're trying to change things trying to trade they -- of the team first of all I'd bring in three relievers the other day. Been altered the culture of the clubhouse. The next thing obviously from the perspective on the outside looked really that how can you sign a guy Ortiz -- a Little League function for goodness sake and showed up late. Well they were just trying to send the message and the message was. Regardless of what you're doing you've got the -- caught out on time. And that's what actually didn't know dukes was at a Little League function because it was a non club event was something he did on his own."

" And -- what -- did bet you understand they understand and be deployed to him that he thought beyond hot."

" Now the larger question of this season where it's going. They have a young pitcher named Jordan Zimmerman who came up the other night and did a tremendous job after the other young talent they liked. They're here that team with six were handed hitting outfielder role pretty much the same but he then had a dysfunctional roster all the way through. Ultimately it's going to be a long process toward rebuilding. Yeah -- teams interested -- Pedro Martinez. And from the standpoint of stability giving the franchise and -- that I feel pretty good idea."

" That would certainly help out -- as always we appreciate your time. You didn't write a baseball -- to keep it logged on the foxsports.com. Already Sparage. Thanks to look at him. To catch baseballs biggest draw. -- square off."
