Good, this will likely help the club and selfishly, I just want to see him pitch.

he's going to pitch out of the pen. Partly to keep his inning total down. Luhnow says he's still viewed as a starter. Peacock called up to be in rotation. Whoopee.

Same. It's pretty odd/funny to see them do this so soon, though: Luhnow was talking about the possibility of bringing Folty up to pitch out of the 'pen on the broadcast last night, but it sounded to me more like a "we've been thinking about doing this in September" as opposed to "we've been thinking about doing this tomorrow" thing.

the pen can stand improvement that goes without saying

I noticed in this article and in his interview last night, Luhnow using the term "the manager" instead of Bo or Porter. Seems a bit odd.

Maybe he's a mole and was tipping off The Citizen.

Omg, I gotta check the front page more often. Great job, NeilT.

Thanks.  It's good to know that the Canadian invasion is off for now.
