O’Connor on Saturday? Posted by: Kristen in News on May 7th, 2008 4:03 pm

As just a heads up, game notes for tonight’s game indicate that Chico was moved to the bullpen for Mike O’Connor to start on Saturday.  Probable pitchers on the Nats website still say Chico against the Marlins this weekend, so we’ll see what the professionals tell us a bit later.  Chico has never appeared as a reliever.  It’s unclear whether he will actually work out of that role or be moved to Columbus for some polishing.  He is 0-5 with a 6.87 ERA.

   Please let this be true. I would like to see O’Connor get a shot at being a starter, and anything is better than watching Chico struggle out there again.

   careful what you wish for…

   i’m really surprised by this move. it doesn’t seem to me that Chico is particularly suited for relief work. if they really want a lefty in the pen, i hear Ray King is looking for a job. seriously though, good for O’Connor, but i’m not sure good for the Nats with this move.
