My guess is that even though he's a reliever, Carasco appears capable.
He's been quite impressive as a reliever and has a decent ERA.
Ohka's been around for awhile and might get you six QS.

I don't know who this Ramirez guy is they got from KC but he is in the
mix. Poreda's last outing was lights out, but he is still in A ball.
Broadway has not pitched well since May. Of all of them, I think
Whistler has been the most consistent.

Ramirez is a lefty starter turned reliever, Logan has shot his wad so
Ramirez will probably go to the pen and Carrusco will most likely take
Contreras's spot, for the short term anyway. Ramirez's career and 08 numbers
are better than Logan's, I like Carrusco better than Contreras, but it comes
down to Burhle and Vasquez getting quality starts for the remaining 40-some
games.

It wasn't a pretty sight - Jose was terribly late in trying to get to
first and his angle to the base was way off also. Watching him go
down for the count was not a pleasant thing to see ;-(
