Should the team have a late lead to protect for the next while, Mike Dunn, and Chad Qualls, along with Cishek, are all possible candidates now. Cishek is likely to take the job back eventually.
ScoutingBook.com is the backyard toolshed of a handful of swell fellas (and one sassy lady) who live, work or breathe baseball, information processing, online gaming, economic theory, infographicology, or some combination of those things.
