Sooooo . . .  we have a batting order thread, we have a rotation thread, so that leaves the bullpen and the bench.

With Fedde being out of options, there's now a possibility that he and Voth occupy 2 spots as multi-inning / long men.

You would have thought that, at the start of the spring, there were 6 locks and 2 open spots:

Hand (L) / Hudson (R) / Harris (R) / Rainey (R) for high leverage and closing.
Suero (R) / Finnegan (R) for middle innings and lower leverage initially. Suero being used v. lefties.

Unless they are willing to risk exposing Voth or Fedde to waivers, it looks like guys like Braymer, Guerra, Clay, McGowin, end up squeezed out.  A 9 man bullpen is a possibility.

I think that because of the blood clots in Harris's arm that they put hin on the IR ( or whatever the new designation is) and keep both Fedde and Voth and go with a 9 man BP by adding McGowin until Harris is rehabbed .
