Cornejo should be ready to come back. I would stick him in the pen for now. Supposedly he has better velocity now. John Ennis has pitched really well since they put him in the closer's role at Toledo. He would be at least as good as Levine or Colyer. At the start of his career Armando Benitez went through a lot of what German is going through now. German's AAA numbers say he can get guys out. I would rather see him as the long man they use in blowouts than the guy they go to with the lead. They need him to get established at the ML level. Confidence is obviously an issue. But the pen is so bad they need him in the close games. Cornejo and Ennis could help. Mears would be ok. So would Pat Ahearne. We'll see. Billfer, nice insight. Cornejo should be ready to come back.

There's no room for him in the rotation, yet, but getting him some more big league innings wouldn't hurt. Will Ledezma is another name I’ve seen thrown around.

I can see swapping a few guys out for Mud Hens, in which case an improved pen is only going to happen when guys start pitching better.
