How will Maddux fit into the rotation for the Dodgers?

Question

Im a lifelong Braves fan and obviously have been a Maddux fan for years. Anytime he pitches in Philly, I like to go and the Dodgers are in Philly the 22nd-25th. I think from my guesses the Dodgers have a 4 man rotation...will he be a 5th starter or take over for the 4th starter? He last pitched on Friday, so I am trying to fiure out when he will be pitching in PA this weekend. Thanks Dodger fans!

Answer 1

It's not necessarily the value of Maddux's pitching anymore, seeing that he is 42, but the experience and knowledge of Mad-dog will help Kershaw develope just like it did Billingsley.  Also, he should hop in at the 4 or 5 spot for Brad Penny.  Go Dodgers!  

Answer 2

Not better than last year!!!

Answer 3

that is going to be an interesting place to play now too considering he has to go against his former team now as well... i like the move for the dodgers though because they are trying to make it to the world series this year and i dont think anyone is going ot stop them at this rate

Answer 4

Penny is on the DL. The Dodgers plan on playing him in his spot, which comes up Saturday in Philadelphia.

Answer 5

well you gotta figure with penny on the dl maddux isnt gonna hurt the rotation at all.he still does have about 5 maybe 6 good innings in him its up to the dodger bullpen to stay strong chan ho parks gotta pick it up.but i think its a great trade maddux pitched fairly well when he was here in la
