Hawk & Steve's baseball blog: Brandon McCarthy

Brandon McCarthy

Don't look now, but Brandon McCarthy has really begun to settle into his bullpen role. I think he is going to turn out to be a huge key for us. He's got the confidence already you need to come into a tight game from the pen. I talked to him the other day and he has no problem getting warmed up down there. People were concerned that coming from a starting background, it might take him too long to get warm in his role as a reliever since he was used to stretching out differently when starting. It's not the case and he's already had several strong outings including Monday's turn in Detroit.

I like McCarthy. I still think he's got what it takes to be a starter but needs the experience from the bullpen.

Good blog. It's good to hear from you guys.
