The Cleveland Indians need to ditch Joe Borowski

After last night I’ve seen enough of Joe Borowski. If Eric Wedge continues to use him as the Indians’ closer it might wind up costing him his job. Borowski has pitched in 18 games for the Indians this season and he is 1-3 with 6 saves, a 7.56 ERA and a 1.92 WHIP. Borowski has pitched in 87 games for the Indians in the last two seasons and he is 5-8 with 51 saves, a 5.57 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. The Indians should give Japanese import Mashide Kobayashi a chance to close instead of Borowski. He has pitched in 38 games for the Indians this season and he is 4-3 with 4 saves, a 3.15 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. The start of rebuilding the Indians’ bullpen is getting rid of some of the trash in it and it all starts with Borowski who should be released.

UPDATE: The Indians have finally got rid of Joe Borowski as they designated him for assignment today. He will likely have a hard time finding another job as he has been absolutely awful this season for the Indians. Good Riddance!
