Glen Perkins. He's a lefty, but he's absolutely killing it as the Twins' closer, and he consistently hits 95-6 with a wipeout slider.

Threw 60 pitches in a AA rehab start last night. He said that he may be ready to go after just one more.
I'd send Wacha back down until roster expansion and let Lyons stay in as the lefty starter.

In the 9th it's not about the size of the lead but where the tying run exists. When we brought Mujica in the the tying run was on deck. It was the right move. What sucks is that the move had to be made, and for that you can blame Butler and Man Ass.

that aint happening. Mo said he was here to stay if they called him up. Sending him to the minors would be considered a demotion. No need to demote the guy. Lets see if he can locate better.

Here's the scouting report on Gonzales:
http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/cardinal...o-gonzales-lhp Prototypical soft-tossing lefty, but he has a brilliant changeup and good command of the fastball. Also throws a cutter into RHB. Probably projects as a #4 starter. Not a sexy pick, but a solid one. Kaminsky was the Kyle Lohse pick. HS lefty who is small, and, like Gonzales, projects as a back of the rotation type starter. However, he supposedly has an absolutely wicked curveball. Kaminsky lit the showcase scene on fire this summer, racking up strikeouts with an advanced repertoire from the left side. His fastball sits in the low 90s and can reach 94, but the exciting part is his curveball, which has legitimate plus-plus potential. He throws the hammer in the upper 70s and low 80s and generates excellent bite with 11-to-5 action. The pitch was unhittable this summer, and Kaminsky also has some feel for a change-up.

He had Mujica warming up with a 7 run lead and 1 out and 2 on. Either he knew Butler wouldn't get it done or suspected. And if that is the case with a 7 run lead, then WTF is he still on the team? Get another arm up here.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did, but I can't blame Matheny for being proactive when the bullpen gave up six runs in 2.1 IP outside of Mujica.

Does Siegrist project as a starter? or is he a pen guy all the way?

We need pen guys right now. We have plenty of starter candidates. We need to get rosenthal out of the pen.
