Surprised that he wasn't dealt but now that he hasn't been I'd like to see him back into the rotation, with or without JMac.

I'm glad he wasn't dealt either. We could use a back-up starter with JMac's current struggles and Bedard's frequent ones.

Thought he would have been traded yesterday, but shows what I know.

Yes, I like the depth of the pitching staff with Correia here. However, I wonder how it's going to work out now that he's upset he was replaced by Wandy in the rotation.

I'll say this for the guy, he has had his moments with the Bucs. When the season started last year, he was the best pitcher in the rotation - one of the big reasons for the Bucs' good start. Then this season, before the Wandy trade, he was pitching better ball than just about everyone other than AJ. I'm not a huge fan, but I give credit where credit is due.

Nice thread title.

I thought the moment we traded for Wandy that either KCore or Bedard would be on the block. They might have been, we may not know, but trigger was not pulled. When KCore was moved to the Pen (dumb, dumb move, IMO that needs rectified immediately), and complained, I then thought it had to be him that would be moved. I'm not sure, again, if they tried or not, NH did mention it, so probably, but nothing doing.

There could still be waiver wire moves yet, but I"m doubtful either pitcher will be involved in any of those.

I would make sure KCore knows how much he means to the team, put him back in the starting rotation pronto and move on.
