Kendall Graveman

Anyone else find this interesting that he is starting for us tommorrow? I've always kind of seen him as a relief guy, but he has pitched pretty well for us.

I do think it is interesting that he is starting tomorrow, not that he is starting. I dont know why you wouldnt bump Stratton up a day, opening day starter in the SEC is a big deal and Stratton has been starting why not move him up a day. I think Graveman has the stuff to start, he has a power sinker that can induce a ton of groundballs, with that one pitch the others can really just be show me pitches, but his breaking ball is really not that bad. I think he will do ok but in reality sinkerball pitchers tend to do better when they are not jacked up and a little fatigued, and you know he will be jacked up tomorrow, so we will see.
