I think it's the most important decision we have left. It's a golden opportunity these next couple of weeks.
There's absolutely room for somebody to show something. Up until these last couple of outings, the door is open.
It's simple. Wheeler's got more time in the big leagues. He's got seniority. We do it by the hierarchy, and Wheeler's the senior member of the club.
He told me he was plenty willing to go back out there, to eat up some innings to help the bullpen. But I wouldn't call it an argument. We've run into situations like this before and he's argued a lot more vehemently.
What we've seen out of Carlos has been very encouraging. I hate to see somebody who's not a relief pitcher be gone 14 to 17 or 18 days. But if gets some innings and he's impressive, we'll be really aware of what he does.
I really thought we were past it and I think he thought so, too. It actually surprised me yesterday.
We're trying to get those guys that are part of the (World Baseball Classic) out of here early, so we do it in order of seniority and hierarchy, and Wheels is a senior member of the club.
It's fair to say he's not prototypical (as a setup man), but when you talk about eighth-inning guys I can't hardly imagine a better one. When (closer Brad) Lidge was down (in July) and he was the last man, he did the exact same thing he had always done.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if he starts,
There are some guys down there I have no idea about. They lived in small homes that weren't all that sturdy to begin with. I haven't seen much about Grand Isle on television. I would imagine it's not even there, but I don't know.
