Pat, just wonder if DD got burned by having an expensive bullpen. DD is tipping his hand a bit with the release of Veras so maybe he wants a better 8th inning man. If they want to save money I would go after Wilson and Smith(set-up) and a cheap lefty specialist. If money is not an issue I would bring back Benoit or Mujica. I would prefer a bat such Beltran too but bullpen comes first. Batting average in the post-season I think is around 244 so pitching and defense go along way in the post season.
