maybe just not pitch him as much? With Strickland and Hudson we have some 9th inning options we didn't have a few weeks ago.
Except we've now used Hudson 4 out of the last 5 days. And Strickland is coming back from a rather substantial injury.
The whole reason we got these guys was so we could GET to Doolittle in the 9th and not have to use him in a 4-5 run game.
