After last night's game Fredi said he thinks John Koronka will remain in the rotation . Manager Fredi Gonzalez said he anticipates Koronka staying in the rotation for the immediate future. Of course, that really isn't up to Fredi since the roster decisions are made by the front office, with Fredi's input I'm sure, and his job is to manage the ones they give him. I have no problem with a pitcher getting...
