I think there’s nothing wrong with putting both of them in the bullpen. It gets guys innings and experience without forcing them to throw too many innings at a young age. That’s how Johan started.

And I wouldn’t worry too much about trying to “predict” while the Santana situation hangs in the air. Either way, we want as many guys as ready as possible. And we’ll need Guerrier helping to anchor the bullpen whether we have Santana or not.

Its hard to predict things at this point with this Santana trade still up in the air.</p> I would think Blackburn and Perkins will have a better shot at cracking the rotation than Guerrier.

Flashes of consistency? Does that even make sense?
