Question
I've been trying to gather information on the closer situation for the Expos but all I can seem to come up with is that Herges may have lost the job.  Do you think Scott Stewart will become the closer?  Do you see a closer by commitee situatin?  or what do you think will happen?  Thanks for the advice ahead of time.

Answer
Hi Adam!

Yeah, it seems now that the Expos are going with not necessarily a committee per se, but rather with the hottest guy out there. Right now it seems Stewart is it. This is where the Strickland trade makes me sick. Never was a big fan of Strick, but two times out of three, he'd get the job done. Herges threw to one hitter today and he blew it. It's all about momentum. Until Herges finds his groove, he won't get many opps to close games.

Hope this answers your question
