He could be talking about Fiers out of the pen as well (going to Perez/Fields was questionable). I think he should have went with Sipp personally.
Lance needs to get that change up working next year. That Fastball/slider is a tough combination, but only if you can really locate that fastball. He needs that third pitch if he's going to continue to struggle to locate his number 1.
We are getting tons of hits in on Ventura so far. Gattis needs to step up though and validate his spot. Castro is at least a big bonus on defense.
