Bad Luck for Kuroda

Hiroki Kuroda of the Dodgers was sent home with another loss, which he didn't deserve. This "rookie", I use this term loosely, has been pitching extremely well during his first season in America. In his latest outing he pitched 6.1 innings and only gave up 1 run but didn't get the win.

Owners shouldn't be too happy with the productivity the Dodgers are giving him with the bats. But look on the good side, this start gives owners a great piece of trade bait to lure in other owners who are in need of pitching. If you have Kuroda I would consider trading him by using him as a sweetener in trade negotiations. I don't believe this pitcher can last the entire MLB season especially since he is use to pitching every 6th or 7th day back in Japan. I think his arm will tire as the year goes on. Plus, he isn't a power pitcher which leads me to believe people will start to hit him and slowly but surely hitters will find the gaps.

So, go out and try to trade Kuroda while he is hot and doing well...sell high!
