Fredi Wants Lindstrom Back in Closer Role

[m26555]

Perhaps if there is the idea that it is partially in his head and that it is both head and talent, maybe the head part is that he realizes he is not good enough to get people out and then pitching in the 7th or 8th innings wouldn't be much different than the 9th

Nah. I think pitching in the ninth as opposed to the seventh or eighth is an entirely different animal. I mean, he was very effective for us in '07 and '08 out of the middle relief role.

Then its not a talent problem

Hmm, personally I would keep him down for as long as possible to try to build up his arm strength. Seemed his FB was flat and slower all year long.
