Mendoza was very good from June on, but his track record is bad. Making sure that wasn't a fluke is OK.
I still can't quite believe they actually moved Hochevar to the bullpen. It's like they finally woke up about him. Just wish it had happened earlier (like, say, Nov. 1).

I wonder what role they are thinking. Long relief or a 7th inning type guy.
