Surprised, no. Disappointed, a little. I can't believe they are going to stand pat with the bullpen setup as is. Cordero blew the game last night but has been decent. Masset has pitched better. Rhodes has been great, but has regressed to career norms the last few weeks. Still, any confidence in the guys behind that. They've got some promising young arms, but no one proven who you can count on in the 7th inning of a playoff game.
This pitching is not good enough to win a playoff series, and I still don't think any contending team has Johnny Gomes batting 5th.
The market for relief pitching wasn't good in terms of price, so you can understand the lack of a move, but you'd still like to think there was room for improvement. Especially since this organization hasn't been in the playoffs since 95. There going to hear it from the fans if they don't make the playoffs.
There wasn't anything great out there to get. They can solve some hitting and OF problems by PLAYING HEISEY MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK. He can mash and play good def. Did you see him steal that HR?????????
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about Coco. He's shakier than Michael J. Fox at this point.
