Some may think that the soft schedule for the next couple of months is a blessing. I am not so sure. Such a schedule could lull us into a false sense of security. Our bull pen needs help. It is not a talented group. If we come out of the next month and a half or two months in a good place in the standings without adding a quality arm or two to the pen, the good teams will feast on our pen. IMO, the FO should act during the soft part of the schedule to prepare for the gauntlet as you call it.
