Chris Young, pitcher for the Padres began surving his 5 game suspension for his part in the brawl he started by hitting Derek Lee. He will be suspended for the last four games before the all-star break and the first game after it. With his selection as the 32nd man for the all-star game, he will be available and will most likely pitch for the NL team, thus he would most likely not be penciled in to start the Padres first game back after the break. Thus, as a result of this 5 game suspension, Chris Young will not miss a scheduled start. So his 5 game suspension is not really a suspension at all, the Padres will not be effeected by this at all. Wouldn?t a 9 game suspension for starting pitchers be a better way to enforce a penalty or suspension against a starting pitcher? By giving a 9 game suspension a team would truly have to skip the suspended player?s start rather then just pushing it back a day or two and a 9 game suspension would still only cause the suspended player to miss one start which would truely enforce the penelty.
