Pretty good read. Personally I think it is Burgos's job to lose. If he is our closer of the future why not make it the near future.

Well it definitly shouldn't be Sisco. I think we've relied on him too much and if we continue to we'll end up breaking his confidence.

That's why I said Burgos. MacDougal isn't reliable enough, I have never been a big fan of Wood, and Sisco is way to young for that kind of pressure.

Actually I'm not sure what we're worried about. The way we're playing we'd be lucky to get a lead.

Well we get leads, but they're normally gone when the middle relievers come in.

If you break this down Greinke normally leaves on top, so why don't we let him complete the game and we don't need a closer. I'd hate to see us conserve him and then end up watching him strike us out in pinstripes.

Or get a strikeout Catcher, a medioker starter and a decent third-basemen

Well Buck's D is good, Wood doesn't impress me either and Teahen will be back soon (hopefully) to show us that the Beltran trade was a good one.

There's no doubt that we will benefit from Teahen, especially over Truby:o The way he tore up the AFL you'd think he'd be the rookie of the year, but injuries do happen.

Well yeah look at Maggs and what happened to him this year. I just hope Teahen can play some D when he comes back.

Well he's guaranteed the job so both hitting and fielding should come before the end of the year. Kinda like John last year.

I wish John would get it together it might help getting Sweeney out earilier. I feel a new Thread coming on.

Well anybody could step up and it would help.
