Saul Rivera often pitches 2 innings when he comes in.  Does it on consecutive nights, too.  I think they should use John Patterson in long relief, to minimize pressure on his arm.  He doesn't need to be throwing 90 pitches.

Long relievers are those that COULD be situational/spot starters. I don't see Saul as one of those guys. I know Bowie was supposed to be. I truly think that Traber's all we got right now. Speigner was, too, before we had to use him as a starter. I just wonder if the Van Buren deal will somehow fill this void.
