Martinez didn’t want to close to begin with. I have a feeling that during the offseason, he will tell MO he doesn’t want to be a closer, and that will solve our rotation problem. The FO will have to come up with a strategy to handle the closer issue for next year.
On another note, it’s has been nice seeing Carpenter contribute to the team for the past few weeks. He looks real while he’s doing it. (I’m not going to explain what I mean by that last comment, so please just leave it alone.)
