Mr. Law checks in

For anyone else bored at work today check out ESPN.com for a bunch of shorter chats with the different baseball writers. So far our good friend Keith took a break from preparing a dish of paella and playing guitar to check in on the Brewers young pitching.

Ricky (Albuquerque, NM): Hey Keith! Parra or Villanueva... Who has the better season?

Keith Law: (12:08 PM ET ) Parra. And I hope they give him a rotation slot - they're going to need good production from their rotation, because their bullpen is shaky.

I tend to agree with him but I wonder how many innings Parra is going to pitch this year. The major problem I have with him in the starting 5 is that he hasn't come close to hitting 200 innings in his career - how the hell do you expect him to carry that kind of load this year?

I do think that everyone besides Ned Yost agrees that our starting rotation is at its best with BOTH Villy and Parra.
