We all know the biggest problem last year was middle relief. I know they

for middle relief? Do they just think there are extra starters, and they'll
do the middle relief? What happens then, when a couple starters are
injured? Or are some of these names I don't recognize on the pitching
roster supposed to be the saving grace? IMHO there will be no rings without
a better middle relief staff.

Once Dotel is healthy they'll be better off than they were. Dotel can
replace Gordon, and Farnsworth is a far better #3 option than they've
had in a while. If Myers is used properly, he'll be more useful as a
LOOGY than options they've had in recent years, but if he's allowed to
face righties, he could be a disaster. They also have some arms in the
minors who can contribute if given a chance.

Isn't it possible, maybe not probable, that acquisitions like Veras and
Rasner could be of help in middle relief?
