On the fly here ----- was this just a one shot deal yesterday or a sign of things to come.

from the game I saw him pitch, he definitely had closer stuff... The only queston is does pressure make him better or worse

From the closerwatch blog - theinsidepitch.com

Tom Mastny to Closer in place of Jason Davis
Jason Davis to 1st in line in place of Rafael Betancourt
Fausto Carmona still 2nd in line

Mastny pitched 2 scoreless innings yesterday in a 5-3 game to earn his first career save in just his fourth major league appearance; 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K. Manager Eric Wedge said the rookie Mastny would "get another opportunity" to close in this wide open Indians' bullpen. The 25-year-old's line in those 4 appearances; 6+ IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 8 K. Mastny had a 1.02 WHIP in 62+ AA/AAA IP with 76 K and 1 save prior to his call up.

Davis was not used as the closer after Carmona was removed from the role. The Indians gave Brian Sikorski a save opportunity on Friday, which he blew. Now Mastny may have the opportunity to emerge as Bob Wickman's successor

davis has a save same as matsny

im sure wedge will give whoever he can "another chance" look how he kept rolling fausto out there

matsny is worth a flyer for any who need saves but hes not the closer yet
