    My biggest concern this series is the bullpen. The leverage guys were used very heavily in the last series, and we have two rehabbing pitchers starting. I hope Espada has a long relief option ready - personally I would have skipped Blubaugh’s last ML start and had him up here to piggy back.

    Also, WWW.

    We're going to have to be patient while these guys returning from injury shake off the rust and get their footing. We'll likely have to sacrifice some games, and possibly the division, in order to get these guys sharp for a postseason run. Big picture, I'd rather have to survive a Wild Card series with a healthy, deep, pitching staff than go into the ALDS without them.
