Silva's clearly not the same pitcher he was in Seattle, and he looks to be back to his form as a solid #3-4 in Minnesotta. In the N.L. he may even wind up the year with an ERA under 4.00~ that's not being entirely unrealistic for him. As much as I'd love to see Gorzelanny have the chance to regain his 2007 production for us, I just don't see how you can chuck Silva in the pen with the way he's going now. A guy (so far successfully) making a career-saving comeback is not the guy you want to have relegated to doing mop-up and long-relief. Anyway, I'm uber~impressed with what Silva's done, and on top of that, we have Byrd doing everything we wanted from him, too. Maybe the Bradley fiasco does have a silver lining, after all.
