Well obviously my first reaction was, "this is nuts" but I don't think its all that bad to try out. I mean we have to try something don't we? Or just fire-sale. Lou has to be frustrated that no matter who he puts in the game out of the pen, they get lit up every night.
If you have to take one of the good starters and put them in the pen, I do think Z is the best option. Demp has been there before and was mediocre, he has been much better as a starter. Wells' pinpoint control, stamina and lack of overpowering stuff makes him a better starter than reliever and Lilly is a lefty with a one hour pre-game ritual before he pitches, not a good option either.
I do think it will probably be temporary and there are so many other problems with this team I doubt it does much but I'm not gonna flip out just yet.
