How do we piece together the bullpen tomorrow?   Parker and Poulin definitely available.

Who starts? Is it Cavalli? Then Parker for long relief. Poulin and Beeter, plus Ribalta.

thinking  we may see a move to bring up an  arm from Rochester. Palmquist is a lefty and available. Granillo?

Ribalta only threw 14 pitches so he should be available.
More I think about it, only Lord and Varland should be unavailable. Parker and Poulin are rested, but the 3 other relievers didn't throw more than 15 pitches. I think Beeter has been more used than Ribalta / Schultz / Lovelady considering they had to get him up tonight after pitching the past 2 nights, but I think he's also available.

Poulin to open, Littell to follow, to Parker. All short guys except Varland are available.
