| Will Ohlendorf take a step forward or keep falling backward? |
Spring numbers don't mean much of anything, but Ohlendorf has had a pretty bad spring. He has a spring ERA of nearing 10 and has 23 runs in a little over 20 innings. Those numbers are not all that encouraging for a guy that a good bit of production is expected from him.
The rotation is going to be led by Correia and Maholm, but Ohlendorf was supposed to be able to add some much needed support and strength in the middle of the rotation. He was to prove that last year he was a good pitcher and is ready to take a new step forward.
Thus far in the spring, he is looking more like a guy that is not ready to move forward and instead is the Ross Ohlendorf of old. Hopefully this is just a spring thing and we can forget it, but the signs are not all that positive.

What was also discouraging was that if you looked at his pitch selection, every thing was 89-91 except for a rare 70 something curve.
Where is the 80 mph change or the 95 mph heat? His slider and fastball are all in that 89-91 range... something really wrong and how much of that was Doumit game calling?
