Riske close to returning...dump Tavarez

I know when David Riske is set to return to the bullpen, that the likely candidate to get sent down to AAA Nashville is Mark DiFelice, but the player that should be dumped is Julian Tavarez. He adds nothing to the pen expect a bad attitude and serving up hard hit singles. I was stunned when Nedder Yost left him in for a second inning in the game Saturday night. He was in the process of getting tore up in the 11th inning and needed a Houdini Act to get out of it. Was it a surprise that the Twins came up with the clutch hits the next go around? Nope.

I will be very disappointed if they keep Tavarez in the bullpen when Riske is ready to roll again. Just because Tavarez used to pitch in the AL East or that he is capable of going a few innings means nothing. He's finished.
