With Hector Neris being demoted to AAA after yet another meltdown Sunday, it appears we are moving closer to a Seranthony Dominguez led Phillies bullpen. We will probably see some ridiculous timeshare at first, with the likes of Luis Garcia, Adam Morgan, Tommy Hunter, Victor Arano and Edubray Ramos seeing some 9th inning work but this should end up being Seranthony’s job sooner rather than later. Last night we saw Ramos work the 8th and Arano the 9th with Dominguez resting after throwing over 50 pitches this weekend. That seems like a good sign as Kapler may be looking to get Ramos settled into the 8th inning going forward. If it was for certain Seranthony were to see close to if not all of the save chances, I would bump him to 5th on this list. An 11.39 K% with a 1.27 BB% (27/3 K/BB) to go with a 19% SwStr rate mixed in with a cool 1.26 FIP and 1.91 SIERA is something special, even if it’s only been 21.1 innings.
