I meant his offensive numbers you imbecile.

As has been established, Pen's brain is not capable of segmentation.

We run segmentation studies all the time at work. 

None of them include Troy Glaus.

Why would they? Is he the new spokesman for Glutino or something?

Why would we run a segmentation against a spokesperson?

They're for consumer research and target insights, not concept testing.

You guys test that stuff? What were the concepts that you didn't go with when you tested The General?

The Artist Formerly Known As CJ Edwards just got promoted to AAA according to his agent's twitter so I'm guessing he might be on the fast track to a stint in the big league pen this season.

He's got a young Marmol-esque 13.7 K/9 at AA this year, but an older Marmol-esque 6.5 BB/9, although it seems like his control has improved as the season's gone on.

As much as I've been longing for him to shift back to the rotation, I'm finally coming around to him winning his 4 Cy Youngs as a closer.

He's been pretty lights out in Tennessee for the last few weeks.

He's been pitching lots of 2 inning stints. Maybe he can be the guy that comes in for Wada with 2 outs in the 5th and K's everyone for the next two innings.

I could see that short term, but long term he seems like an 8th or 9th inning guy.

Why?

'Cuz he throws real hard and Pen lacks any kind of imagination.

Because that's where all the best relievers are and he's going to be the best reliever, versus the Edwin Jackson role you've put him in.

But it's imaginative, I'll give you that.

Yeah, being the guy who comes in and is asked to handle the entire third time through the order in ballgames where you have a slim lead or are tied is exactly what Edwin Jackson's being used for.

I think it makes a ton of sense to take the guy who's projected by me to be awesome and use him only when the starter is struggling.

That role would actually be extremely useful and high leverage and more important than typecasting a dude as an 8th inning guy or closer only, but thanks for the input, Mike Matheny.
