So Everett's better defensively. Eck's a lot better with the bat, too much to really make it close between the two. That's what I was saying.

I'm not saying the Big Three can't go 7+ innings consistently, they can. I'm saying, if they can't, I'd much rather have STL's bullpen than Hou's bullpen in terms of depth. STL has more depth to bail out their pitchers.

Rodriguez has a 5+ ERA... Come on. Sure, he might be good in a pinch, but I'd rather depend on STL's bullpen in a series where Hou's starting pitching can't take over the series.
