The Two Finger Rule

"I never threw the spitter, well maybe once or twice when I really needed to get a guy out real bad." (Whitey Ford)

St. Charles manager Eduardo Ortiz and pitching coach Kyle Green are hoping to at least match the team's 88-win season of 2013, and to do that they're going to lean heavily on the team's pitching. Today they announced the St. Charles pitching staff:

The starters:
Gilberto Montano: The team's Opening Day starter who missed much of last season with elbow tendinitis.
Fred Jones: Was 10-8 with a 4.34 ERA last season.
Bob Burton: Was used as a reliever in New Orleans last season, but had 8 starts in 2012.
Reynaldo Garcia: The 27-year-old  is making a big leap from AA.
Dave Heckbert: Returns after recording a 3-1 record with a 3.94 ERA in 5 starts last season.

The bullpen
Vern Campbell: The team's spot starter had 9 wins last season.
Ray Hall: A big innings eater who went 10-8 with 1 save and a 4.39 ERA last season.

Mike Cunningham:  Had a 2.25 ERA in 5 apperances with Baffin Island last season.
Roberto Moreno: A starter with 11 wins last season is starting the season in the bullpen for St. Charles.
Jonathan Campbell: Looks to return to his 2012 numbers, where he had a 2.67 ERA in 22 appearances.
Vanni Frangilli: Spent last season in AAA Allentown after a dismal 2012 in Orlando.
Antonio Juarez: Hopes to improve upon his career high 29 saves of last season.
