LaRussa keeps insisting that we need a bat.
I'm surprised that this cyber dumbass didn't mention John Grabow. Given the fact that the Pirates have no starting pitchers that are currently healthy, they may be desperate enough to part with Marte and Grabow for a package of Reyes, Duncan, and Parisi/Boggs.
I know I'm on record as saying this, but I want to reiterate:
STAND PAT
Wait for Carpenter and Waino to come back, if we are out of it by then, so be it. But if we are within 4-5 games, we've got a very good shot.
I still think they should test Wellemeyer out as the closer, Call up Perez again, DFA Flores, and use Izzy, Franklin, and McClellan in middle relief. Springer has been your best pitcher, make him the set up man or if Perez can actually cut down on his BB's, give him a shot at it, with Villone as the LOOGY. Pineiro and Thompson can be your swing guys.
