Anybody that can throw the ball over the plate for consecutive pitches will get a standing ovation from me.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

New bullpen:

Marmol
Gregg
Guzman
Wadell
Ascanio
Stevens
Samardzija

Patton can go back to the Rockies, Cotts and Fox can take a hike, and they can make up an injury for Heilman. At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing Marshall back to the bullpen and Wells given a few more starts after Zambrano is back.

At some point they are going to have to give up the farm to get guys like Heath Bell, Jason Grilli, Russ Springer, Jim Johnson and Denys Baez... and it makes me sick.

I don't think any of those guys other than Heath Bell would cost more than a prospect. And Heilman is going to have to be a key part of this pen, like it or not. He's not going away.

That's why I said make up an injury. When did I say anything about him going away?
