When asked about Berg, Piniella said: "Berg is in. Berg has done a nice job."

That means the 'pen now consists of closer Carlos Marmol, John Grabow, Esmailin Caridad, Berg, and two of the four pitchers who don't make the rotation. That list includes Carlos Silva, Jeff Samardzija, Tom Gorzelanny and Sean Marshall.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Good info dude, idk where you found that out, but good shit. Yeah, I figured Berg had to be in with his numbers thus far, and I figured counting him in, there would be 1 spot left, which there is. Of those 4 that are competing for 1 spot (Parisi, Russel, Gaub & Mateo)...I would have to think it's Parisi's job to lose as of now. Mateo's numbers are awful. Gaub set himself back considerably after his last appearance before today, and still had another 2 or 3 BB's today too. And I dont know much about Russel, but being that I havent heard of him, I dont think he is the favorite. Like I said, Parisi's job to lose. Agree with that?
