The Blue Jays need the starting pitchers behind Roy Halladay to keep pitching well this season if they are to continue to compete in the American League East. Halladay is pitching the best ball of his career as he is 10-1 with a 2.52 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP so far this season. Young righty Scott Richmond has been the second best starter this season for the Jays. He is 4-3 with a 3.99 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Lefty Brian Tallet was a reliever until this season when the need arose in the starting rotation and he has pitched pretty well in his new role as he is 4-3 with a 4.12 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. One horrendous start this season blew up his ERA and WHIP which shows how good he has pitched this season overall. Rookie lefty Ricky Romero has also been solid for the Jays when healthy. He is 3-2 with a 4.10 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. Righty Casey Janssen is a converted reliever just like Tallet and he’s pitched alright this season. He is 2-2 with a 5.24 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP. As Janssen starts to get stronger after missing all of last season due to surgery he should be able to start pitching better.
