I hope for the best with MDC, he grows increasingly frustrating to watch.
The things about the pen that bother me are:
1. Mike Timlin for your previous stated research.
2.Javier Lopez, because he does not deserve to have the role he has on a championship caliber team.
3. The mediocrity of MDC, who clearly possess all of the tools to dominate.
Tavarez is what he is....Aardsma has done well. The three above mentioned drive me crazy though.

I disagree about Lopez. He's frustrating as hell because he's so inconsistent, but he does show flashes of effectiveness. He was very good late in the game Wednesday, which probably brought on his usage and the trust Francona had with him on Thursday. The problem as I see it concerning Lopez is that Francona seems to trust him more than his inconsistency should warrant.
If Francona is unable to overcome this tendancy he has with Lopez, then perhaps it would be best if the FO removes him as an option, like they need to do with Timlin.
