I love Siegrist and was pimping him long before the average Card fan knew he even existed. I would be more inclined to give him some closing opportunities than Rosenthal. He rarely farts around, and throws strikes, but although he has been up for awhile now, we are still talking about limited exposure for the most part.
It wouldn't piss me off if they gave others a chance to close, I'm just not sure yet that is best for all concerned.

You're right that he's earned slack, but September should be pulling the rope taught enough to yank him back to the seventh. It will never happen because Matheny's a foot shuffling porter, but it should.
