Get StartedGreat. Joba, Coke, AlAl, Rondon, Krol, Putknonen, Reed.
Might be a real adventure getting the ball to Nathan in the first place.
Hopefully Nathan can pitch more than one inning and hopefully Ausmus doesn't stick to the "closers only pitch the 9th" belief that many managers have.
At 39 and a two-year contract to boot, Nathan better be used exclusively in no more than three-out save situations.
Another thing to be sure right now is they are watching the payroll. What else would it be with these questionable moves for lesser quality players for less money.
Meh:
Payroll was out of control
Nathan got fisters money
Fielder didn't deserve his money
Were overpaying kinsler
We werent paying peralta what he got
So while I agree with you...its not as bad as you made it sound. The 1 move I really have to question is why not bring benoit back for the 8th....but that could be more of a confidence move than a move basef on production....would be tough to ask a guy you made your closer to step back down....I dunno.
