We finally have a left handed reliever, but not one to get too excited about. Fossum has been okay in the pen posting a sub 5 ERA in June. However, some interesting options have been presented recently.

First is the impressive performance so far by Jon Switzer at Durham. He has a sub 1 ERA through over 16 innings including a scoreless inning tonight. Although the sample size is small, he also has a 3:1 K:BB ratio and no HR allowed.

The second option is the release today of J.C. Romero by the Red Sox. Romero had some impressive years in the Minnesota pen but has showed declining performance the past couple years in LA and Boston. However, he did have an ERA just over 3 this year before being released.

My question is are people satisfied with Fossum as our LOOGY? Or would you like us to add more new blood to the pen with the likes of Switzer or Romero?
