[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1544935, member: 26283"] My prediction: While the roster is at 30, he can basically be buried at the back of the pen and allowed to regain trust in low-leverage situations. If he can’t do that by the time rosters shrink down to 26, he’ll be “hurt” and sent away to “rehab” for most of the rest of the season, maybe making some low leverage appearances as the season winds down. He’ll then get a chance to make the roster again next spring. When he doesn’t, he’ll be dfa’d. But I think his brief stint as Cubs closer is effectively over. You can’t look at last night and say, “Small sample size.” [/QUOTE]
