Mike Timlin is returning tomorrow, so another move in the bullpen will have to be made. For a variety of purposes, it is unlikely that Javier Lopez will be given the boot (2 IP, 2.50 WHIP, 9.00 ERA, 3 H, 2 BB, 2K).
The choice likely comes down to either David Aardsma or Bryan Corey. As much as I like Corey, I think the best course of action here would be to move him (and he would certainly be picked up by another team, Tigers?). He’s pitched 4.1 IP of a 14.54 ERA (9 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 3 K) and is an old fogey compared to talented 26-year old Aardsma (albeit with shaky command) who has 4.1 IP as well of a 2.08 ERA, 2 H, 4 BB, 6 K. Choice looks pretty easy from here. What’s your choice?
