Rays need some heat in the pen 

Post#1 » by craig01 » Sun May 3, 2009 2:04 pm

Rays lack balance in the pen, and it is hurting them.

Top speeds of some key guys;

Wheeler 88
Howell 87
Shouse 87
Percival 90
Nelson 89

Balfour last night was only hitting 90......down from 95-97 last year. Something is very wrong with him.

These guys have all got to be perfect every night, and that just isn't possible.

Message to Friedman: Get some heat. This bullpen may implode before long.

Suggestion: bring up David Price and use him in middle relief.

That could solve a lot of problems in the short run.
