Matt Lindstrom has struggled in the closer role this year, blowing 5 of his 16 save oppurtunitys, with a 6.42 ERA. Will hebe moved out of the closer's role soon if his struggles continue?

That is totally upto our team manager to decide. We let our manager do their job and we do ours. But you know how the saying of baseball go: if he has closing experience before, then he is our close. We're keep putting him out there until we trade for a better RP or he'll retire from embarressment. Either way it doesn't matter, the team doesn't matter, they are going to lose anyway no matter what the lineup and pitching staff is set up.

Ok as of July 1, 2009 GT, which is half the season, I predict:
ALE: There a 3 way battle between Yankees, Red Sox, and Rays. Since I like the "evil empire" to make the playoff to generate TV rating and revenue for baseball, I'll choose Yankees.
ALC: No thought, the 7 GA and cleary the best team the Tigers.
ALW: Half way through the season and even the last place team is still in it with only 4.5 GB. Anything can go but I'm going with the Angels for their best pitching staff in the division by far.
ALWC: I'm going with the current 3rd place team in their division the Rays. The ALC and ALW are too far behind for the WC so look like someone in the ALE will win it again.
NLE: Again I like the "evil" team to reach the playoff for tv rating and money, so the Mets for sure. They are ahead in their division by 5 games anyway.
NLC: This is a 4 way battle including the Pirates for the division title. I like pitching and a team with a long storyline (or extremely lack off). I'll choose the Cubs so the playoff become interesing again for tv rating and money.
NLW: If the Angels are going, then so must the 6.5 GA Dodgers. Diamondbacks has a good team but they are too far back so bring on the Los Angeles rivalry.
NLWC: If the last year WS winner doesn't make the playoff, then it is an empty playoff. Its going to be tough since so many teams are in it for the NLWC, but I'll pulling for the Philles to pull it through.
As we always see during the playoff, anything could happen. I predict a Mets vs Yankees subway World Series because its all about the rating and $$$.
