Dave Bush gave up 6 ER in the first inning against the Cubs tonight, who were devouring his fastball after it wasn't being set up well by his curve.  He has a really great curveball - WHEN he has command of it.  Usually takes him 20-30 pitches in a game to get that, which hurts his stats overall.  Despite that however, he is a workhorse at the MLB level and at 26 he could still find a way to find command of that curve early.  Since the first he's struck out 7 and given up 2 hits.

The Brewers are showing great patience with that early command issue.  That makes me wonder how they are handling Gallardo with the stuff he has.  Are they helping him develop his command?  Does he need it?  

I also wonder how they see Will Inman, who does have great command, but of pitches that aren't as effective as Bush's good curveball. Does Inman have Bush's ceiling? 

Lastly, what direction do you see the Brewers' pitching staff taking over the next three years? I see a staff of Sheets, Gallardo, Bush, Villanueva and Inman, with Capuano having been dealt at some point to an AL contender.
