Peeig13 (The Second City): Given Manny Acta's limited options, is he going to stick with Joel Hanrahan at closer after his awful start, or is he going to give a guy like Jason Bergmann a shot (a failed started with good stuff and health issues)?
John Perrotto: This is my darkhorse for the Nationals' closer: Kip Wells. His results have never matched his stuff as a closer and a lot of times many pitchers who fit that profile wind up being good closers for a time. Eric Gagne is a prime example.
-------------------------------------------------
Mike (Utica,NY): What do you think of Daryl Jones and Desmond Jennings? Do you think these two players could be dynamic leadoff hitters for the Cardinals and Rays.
John Perrotto: Yes, though I'd rate Jennings as high as Jones.
--------------------------------------------------
Loren (Berkeley): Rick Ankiel is a servicable outfielder now, but he's the type of guy that could be sub-replacement level in a couple of years. If that happens, does he hang 'em up or try pitching one more time?
John Perrotto: In talking to Ankiel, he would retire before going back to pitching again. He will never step on a mound again.
