Every manager picks more of his guys - but remember, Torre didn't pick the starters, we (the fans) did. He picked the reserves, and I don't think he did a bad job at all of that.

According to BP, Gordon is the best non-closer relief pitcher in baseball . . . his peripherals are stupid good, he almost never allows inherited runners to score, his K/BB is out of control, and he pitches more innings, in higher leverage situations, than almost any pitcher in baseball. I might not take any reliever (non-MoRivera catagory; he's still the best) in the AL over him . . . throw in the NL, and seriously it might just be only Gagne over Flash, he's been that sick.
the Flash deserved it.
