PITTSBURGH -- The rain has stopped (for now), and the Phillies and Pirates are minutes from getting started. The hope is that the teams will be able to play five innings and make the game official before the rain returns. Caesar Rodney High grad Ian Snell just took the mound for Pittsburgh. He's looking for his first win since July 4.If there's a delay, you can read about Jamie Moyer's struggles last night in the buck-fifty edition. In the notebook, there's news about restless Chase Utley, who is hoping to resume playing for the Phillies by Aug. 27 when the Mets visit The Bank. And, in the Sunday notes, I wrote about how Brett Myers should return to the rotation next season. What do you think?

ABSOLUTELY.
That's the answer to whether or not Brett Myers should be a starter next year. Sign Francisco Cordero or Al Reyes, put Myers behind Hamels, Eaton third, and maybe Kendrick fourth with perhaps Durbin as the 5th man. Either way, it's tough to argue against signing Cordero and moving Myers back to the rotation, especially given the lack of SP depth in the free-agent pool, which became SIGNIFICANTLY more shallow with the Zambrano deal.
No doubt I'd rather see Myers' stuff 35 times a year for 6-8 innings than 55 times for one inning.
