Hendry and middle relievers

[mindbodyspirit]

If Cashner is capable of getting hitters out, he should be here pitching in the 7th-8th innings for us for the next 3 weeks. We've seen Caridad go down with an injury, we've seen a fair amount of ineffectiveness from our guys not named Marmol, Marshall, and Russell. With our offense the way it's been hot/cold, we need someone to get hitters out in the 7th to 8th innings. Personally, I don't care if he projects as the next Rich Harden or the next Nolan Ryan or the next Lee Smith. If he can get MLB hitters out for an inning at a time, we need him in Wrigley. Period. Samardjiza hasn't cut it and should be working of developing a consistent 3rd pitch in AAA, not while facing the likes of Ryan Howard, Manny Ramirez, or Prince Feilder with 2 on and nobody out. I hope Cashner gets a call sooner than later.
