With the additions of Hughes, Bergmann and soon Rauch, the bullpen is even more awesome. I find it hard to believe that any of the other WC contenders have benefitted as much as the Nats. Really all we need out of Halama and the other 4/5 starter du jour is 3 innings. I think Frank realizes this because he didnt try to get more out of rassner
starter - 3
pick 2 of rauch, bergmann, hughes (2 innings each)
that makes 7 innings and allows us to use the previous bullpen like before.
imagine if ayala can come back.
if you wanted to stretch it, you could ask for 2 innings from the starter.
as an added bonus, you get to pinch hit for the pitcher's spot more.
the only problem is that the nats 4 and 5 go on consecutive days. it would be better if you could use the bullpen extensively with an long start in between, to rest them.
