If gomber is number 2, matheny isn't learning.

I could be wrong, but I thought Gomber was pressed into service at least a couple of times because of the early suckitude of starters, as well as heavy usage of relievers in previous nights.

He's got Mayers and Cecil last so it's baby steps.

We can only hope that Holland is not a gateway drug that will lead to heavier Mayers and Cecil usage.

Ranking is talking about high leverage situations; probably Gomber being the go to lefty bumps him up in that type of list. It is hard to have a good list when most of the options are either underperforming or just not good.

i honestly had no idea cecil was still on the active roster

Sure is! Haven't you seen his picture on the Cardinals website roster section?

The strategy is known as Cecil and desist.

I would straight up release Bowman.

Zero value.

Better pitchers in AAA. Better pitchers almost anywhere else.

This org has a real hard time releasing the flotsam they acquire in the Rule 5. They treat them almost as sacred as their grown talent.

He's negative value and killing the team.

Would rather just roll the dice with Mujica.
