Bring back Luis Ayala?

Sure, he wasn't good enough for a contender in Minnesota (which is why the Twins designated him for assignment), but he did throw more innings than any Nationals reliever, with a better ERA than most of them.  Maybe Minnesota just wasn't the place for him; there's a huge difference between his home and road ERAs (5.59 vs. 2.08).  His ERA over the last 30 days is 3.00.  I'd take that coming out of the bullpen.

I think I'd take that too, over the Wells/Colome juggernaut.....

I’d also probably go back to the 9 man ’pen and quicker hooks, less McChattys…

At the risk of grossing anyone out

(as we say here)…this would be a like a dog returning to its own….

I am ok with Ayala in the pen

He was great once, one of the best setup men in the game back before the first WBC. I still root for his success, sure go get him!

He'd want Beimel's job, and possibly McDoodle's or he wouldn't be happy.

I wouldn’t mind him, but only if he were happy with what they give him.
