I say J.J. Putz in Seattle, I'd give the title to him.

I agree with Putz as well. A good Michigan man. Go Blue!

Definitely nor Cordero. He was having a good season for the first 25 starts or so, but has blown a lot of games as of late. I don't see the Mariners play a lot, so I'll take your guys' word on Putz.

I will say, though, that Minnesota has the best bullpen. Guerrier, Neshek, and Nathan. You'd better rough up their starters or you're in a world of hurt.

Although unfortunately he will probably pitch a lot better in the future, it is hard to say that Gagne has been great for the Red Sox this season

That's an understatement. Also, I thought sure they would move Gagne to the 7th and put Okey Dokey back in the 8th if not replacing Gagne in the 7th on a short leash.

Tito says he's going to change nothing, so Gagne needs to sink or swim. Sox fan is really heckling this guy I hear.

Billy Wagner has been superb this year, but haven't looked at everyone's stats so he may not be the best
