12 pitchers

I suppose if you stare at anything long enough you begin to discern a pattern...
I think what Ozzie/Kenny are trying to do with 12 pitchers is to cut back the on the work generally in the bullpen. Several of these guys are already approaching their career highs in appearances and I think they feel that if there are blow outs, Jenks and Adkins can pick up the innings and rest Cotts, Marte and the newly effective (!!!?) Vizcaino. These are the guys they'll need in the playoffs.
This gets blown to hell in a series like the one w/ the Yankees. I hope they win two close ones in Boston and then have a blow out either way in the other game
Plus keeping Gload in the minors keeps him playing (hitting) everyday, whereas his at bats would be limited if they brought him up.
Or not.

All valid points,
We just might have won an extra game in those 5 with Carl on the bench if we had some added flexibilty.
I don't think you'll ever say that about Jon Adkins.
