we have depth but not consistancy yet.
aardma has been better than advertised
timlin is an every other day guy and will be more consistant
tavares needs to be used in the same way and lopez is lopez.
mdc is in a make or break year as far as im concerned
hes been here long enough to know the a.l hitters and whats expected of him late in the game...with him,oki and paps and more consistancy from the other guys we're ok.
if not we can move on Eric Gagne

I agree with most of this, except MDC. MDC may be in a make or break year in terms of becoming a setup man on a championship caliber team, but he has already proven his value in terms of a good relief pitcher, its just whether or not he can be trusted when the game is on line like Oki is.
