Demotion Derby

Shawn Green out of the cleanup spot. Kazuhisa Ishii out of the rotation.

It's Darren Dreifort's turn.

Putting aside that Dreifort hit the nadir with a mixture of hitability and worm-killing wildness Monday, he just hasn't been right most of the year.

Per Paul DePodesta's philosophy, occasional adequacy is no longer sufficient for this team's ambitions. Alternatives must be pursued. And don't be fooled - Jim Tracy is ready.

Let's not get our hopes too high. Neither Yhency Brazoban, Giovanni Carrara or Duaner Sanchez are Frankie Rodriguez. But they're all better options at this point than Dreifort.

And we wait for Brad Penny, Edwin Jackson and maybe even Hideo Nomo to return, to domino the pitching staff back to strength.
