Shelby should be a nice addition to the pen.  Zastryzny re-starting his rehab assignment.  Gasser headed to Nashville.  Will be good to work some of them in and get the bullpen regulars a little rest.

Miller is an easy replacement for McGee but will be interesting to see what they do with the two lefties. One of them will get the extra spot for September but do they just option Gasser? Don't think they would like to lose depth with a DFA of Zastryzny.. Maybe give Koenig a 15 day break prior to the stretch run.

Here’s my thoughts on Peralta 

he’s the fourth starter in the playoffs.   But then I don’t know if i want him pitching a do or die win

so maybe start him game one so we can overcome his 4 inning mess against a good team

But then you might burn a bunch of relievers for the next games

 

who knows.   Maybe his top 20 pitcher thing qualifies as some sort of Hilton honors rewards that entitles him to get a bigger strike zone to throw his crappy two strike pitches too

Not a chance in the entire world Freddy doesn't start game one or game two.  Just not going to happen.
