Santana is a fine reliever if not overworked. He's been overworked. He's a one inning guy. Thats it. Bottalico was similar. But they were worked everyday because the Brewers carried three one inning guys while having 3 long relief that never pitched.
Can someone tell Bill that Branyan isn't walking a bunch more this season. The reason his OBP is so high this year is because his average is .270 and not .230. Its not that hard. You'd think they'd have heard of 3TO by now.
If the Brewers go off on a 20-5 strech, then talk Wild Card. Until the Brewers prove they can play like the A's, sub .500 teams should only hope for the playoffs if they are in the NL West.
