Perez

A better question would be, who hasn't given up a homer to Griffey?

The comeback win was nice (although I still stand by the fact that we should be mopping the floor with a team like the Reds, not squeaking out a win), but the real treat was Perez. I think we've found a solid addition to our bullpen. Let's just hope Wedge doesn't do something to mess with his head.

And, clearly, Sowers will be the odd man out when Westbrook returns, although considering how Jake's starts in Akron have gone, I don't know if I'm entirely eager for that day. Honestly, Adam Miller's finger injury seems like a bigger problem than I thought. I can't imagine, if Miller were healthy, that wouldn't have seen him by now. Sowers' ERA is almost seven now. How many starting pitchers last in the Majors with numbers like that? Strangely enough, we don't actually have any other options but to keep going with him.

In fact, Jason Stanford would be our only real option in Buffalo until Miller gets back. His ERA's 3.39, which doesn't light a fire under anyone, but could he be worse than what we're getting now? Then again we might be out of options on Stanford.

At least we were able to get a win out of a Sowers start, even if he pitched as he has all year. They're going to have to make a change soon, though.
