Hermanson this year, has been fantastic. But lets be serious, he is one of those closers who has been winning the percentage game this year, meaning sure he has good stuff. and when you have good stuff most of the time you will not lose the game pitching 1 inning. He is like a bob wickman, and jones for the marlins, sure they are going to get alot of saves. But seriously do players FEAR them.. no(I do fear hermanson's goatee though). I know ozzie loves to be loyal but I seriously believe hermanson doesn't give a crap if he pitches the 8th(where he would be fantasic at) and not the 9th.
This team needs a shakeup. Jenks should be the closer. iguchi should play every day. same with konerko, dye, pods, aj, and most everybody else. He needs to rotate some people in for everett and crede once in a while. That right there should be the plan, and of course drop duque for mcarthy and see what happens. If they lose with some of those moves then they lose. At least you tried. ... Jesus they just need some luck and squeek into the playoffs. then they can breathe a sigh of relief and play with nothing to lose. For now though its seriously time to be nervous because as much as hate to say it, the indians are hot. alot hotter than us. thank god we still have 5 games on em and get ready for a beautiful Marriotti artice tomorrow or Fri. YOU KNOW ITS COMING
