does anyone know if reitsma keeps it or if they try farnie

I think Reithsma has the job until he messes up bad enough to lose it.

AP Story by Charles Odum:

"Farnsworth, a hard-throwing right-hander who had been the Tigers' closer, will be the setup man for closer Chris Reitsma. Farnsworth also can close games when Reitsma needs a rest."

No way Farnsworth is even considered for the job until he serves his suspension. After that, it's up to Reitsma to implode — otherwise, he remains closer.

I think he's been pretty damn good most of the year. I don't see him losing the job.

It's coming...

Reitsma did blow up against the Cardinals and allowed some of Smoltz's runners to score tonight when he came into the game in the 9th.

Farmboy hasn't been great himself either.

Everyone gets knock around from time to time. I still think Reitsma will keep the job.
