Probably Peralta (though he is arbitration-eligible) and Stammen. Maybe Slaten and Batista. Balester also has a chance to put himself in the mix with a good September.<br /><br />As for the future of the Insider site, I'm planning to outline my offseason plans right after the season ends.

There's a post there meant for the Nats -- for Strasburg in particular -- from the amazing Dr. Ric Leskowitz, who uses "weird science" to help various Red Sox players. Check out his work, if you love baseball -- but I hope someone can get this info to people working with Strasburg, and for that matter anyone is his situation. Which may well include this bull pen.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882101532666365432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-14047301507151368762010-09-15T20:29:50.252-04:002010-09-15T20:29:50.252-04:00With the bases loaded, Maxwell is 3-4 with 3 gran...With the bases loaded, Maxwell is 3-4 with 3 grand slams.

There seems to be an article like this every other day, and yet most of the pitchers' performances remain very steady over time (except Lannan's, and there was an obvious explanation for him--he went down to AA to work on his mecanics). Come on guys, just admit that you sometimes have bad days and sometimes have good days.<br /><br />That said, the bullpen has been really stellar in an otherwise disappointing year, and I am thankful for that.Joshnoreply@blogger.com
