[Giants]

It’s time to take the training wheels off Harrison Winn Whisenhunt. Raise the pitch limits.

The Dodgers are a fairly smart organization, agreed? They had Bobby Miller at 90 pitches nearly a month ago. So, when called up …..

Giants need to follow suit. Unless their goal is to develop nothing but four inning “bulk relievers”….Right now 75 pitches seems to be the limit. 

Let’s look at the background for each guy: 

Miller 24 years old with college experience

Harrison 21 years old with no college experience

Whisenhunt 22 years old with limited college experience (he had to sit out a year due to having taken a banned substance that was in an OTC supplement).  67 pitches in 5 innings in his only appearance with Richmond (he starts again tonight) 

Winn 25 years old.  You would think he should be pitching more innings at this point.

I have no problem with how Harrison and Whisenhunt are being handled.  As they mature, they will be stretched out.
