Izzy on DL with a hand injury. Perez is here and available tonight.
And so the Chris Perez era begins. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast how he is handled vs. how Kyle McClellan was treated when he made the team. McClellan was quickly put into tough situations and, for the most part, handled them well. I don't expect they have Perez up just to be a mopup guy. He won't be the closer, but it'll be interesting to see if he comes into a one-run game in the seventh or eighth right off the bat.
With McClellan, Mike Parisi and now Perez, it's almost looking like the kiddie corp of the 2006 postseason. Hopefully they'll be just as effective!
The Baseball Bloggers Alliance was formed in 2009 to foster
communication and collaboration between bloggers across baseball.
Member blogs are encouraged to use one another to deepen their
understanding of the game and the teams that play it. While no formal
requirements for membership exist at the current time, participating
blogs are asked to keep their blogs current and to link to other member
blogs on their blog roll.
The BBA has, as a secondary aim, the goal of producing year-end
awards in a similar fashion to the Baseball Writers of America. These
awards can be found here in October with links back to the voters,
ensuring transparency and, most likely, the onset of some good baseball
arguments.
