I'm worried a bit about the pen. It doesn't have the same dominating feel that it had last year.
Cordero, Rhodes, Masset (appears to be back) and Herrara inspire confidence
Lincoln, Logan O. do not. Burton needs to find it.
Who replaces Weathers? They need one more dependable guy for the 6th and 7th.
Something needs to shake loose there. Obviously Lincoln needs to be released and let some other team depend on him resurrecting himself. Why not move Owings into that role and call up Lehr or Maloney to be the long guy?
Or, crazy thought alert... if Chapman dominates his first 3 starts, why not put him in the rotation and move Leake to the 6th/7th inning role? Or is there a chance Walt can trade Vlad, Miles plus something else for a solid middle reliever?
