when it comes to stranding runners on base, we might make him look like cy young
cutch draws a 2 out walk

Right now I am fearing that this team is going to go on a massive losing streak and effectively end the season. All the while Greg Polanco is tearing up AAA.

polanco is worth maybe 1 or 2 wins at this point and thats being generous assuming that he can tear it up at the MLB level.
im more ocncerned with the bullpen and rest of the team hitting with risp

That's why, IMO that they need to go for it now. Bring up Polanco. Make Watson the closer. Try to deal for a starting pitcher or bring up Cumpton and give him 4 or 5 starts. If none of that works I can then live with it.
To do nothing is simply unacceptable.

Polaco isnt worth bringing up now and giving up $10-15 over the length of a contract. i dont see him making enough of a difference to be honest.
I think Watson is too soft to be a closer to be honest. if im not mistaken. Watson has been the beneficiary of low leverage situations.. when he has had to pitch in higher leverage...
d really like toi see them give wilson a shot in that role
id like to see Cumpton given a shot too.
that said, Hurdle will likely keep sticking with Melancon
did they really send Gaby or did Gaby make that choice because he was NOWHERE close!
stranded more runners
3-0 Yankees
