Almost certainly - even though there are a couple righties whom I'd rather see go.

<b>No way we send Russell down.</b> Right now, he's one of the few guys missing bats in the pen. My guess is that Samardjiza is the one sent to AAA whenever Lilly gets back. There's also the possibility of trading Gorzelanny for an established bullpen arm, but it's a little early for that. Personally, I think Lou would go with Marmol and a group of lefties if they got guys out.

I wouldn't be so sure. Marshall and Grabow sure as hell aren't going anywhere, and you can't get rid of Gorz either. The depth he provides is very, very important with Silva being a huge question mark and injuries. He could be a nice arm out of the pen as well.
I just have a hard time seeing them go with 4 lefties, even if they're all way better options than Samardzija. I still think Russell will be in Iowa, but we'll see. I wish it would be Shark.
