Timmy ain't a closer. Maaaaaaaybe Arroyo. It is SO time to stop the bleeding.

arroyo struggles too much against lefties to close IMO.

it is definitely time to move foulke into some lower leverage situations, putting him into situations like this is just too much on him.

Time indeed. Why not trade for a closer? Nobody wants Shoppach?

who though? then you have to consider the price of that trade. imo, the best move is to get schilling back, bump arroyo and reorder the back end of the bullpen. hopefully this kid hansen signs soon and can be a somewhat fresh arm a month or so from now.

this team is not the NYY and will not make longterm -EV moves to fix a problem. they cant afford to.

There are plenty of good setupmen out there potentially looking for a closer job.

Off the top of my head:
Julian Tavarez
Alan Reyes
Jesse Crain
Mike Gonzalez


There are many more.

I said this a week ago and some said it was reactioanry and silly but after tonite it looks desparate. Schilling has to be the closer.

But they'll never do it.

how many are available for trade, and at what cost? the fact that these guys want to close means nothing.

of course they wont. they understand that 100 innings of quality pitching is much more important than 40 innings of quality pitching.

hes a top tier starting pitcher, why even consider moving him into a new role? if it wasnt me who said it was a silly idea, then put me on record as saying it now. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
