There is one big reason why Kobayashi gives up those late inning home runs: He does not have major league stuff. Bad signing!

I'm tired of talk about Perez being a closer. I want 95 mph out of the closer and Perez will never have that.

Aside from his effectiveness, his greatest asset out of the 'pen is his length, the fact that he can be left out there for one trip through a line-up without worrying about matching up. He was in the Buffalo rotation when called up last year, where developing a third pitch was the priority. If they're going to move his role at all, I say lengthen him out and work on #3, even if it's just a cutter or a two-seamer. He'd immediately be above Sowers or Laffey in the rotation.

I can't wait until the end of the season when Wedge is fired as he deserves. He is a terrible manager and the collapse of last year and this year are proof. If he had any sense, he would try Perez as the closer now. Why not? I saw him down here in Tampa and he was awesome. Unhittable stuff. I just can't wait for this horrible season to end and a new coach.
