I'm not sure Perkins can be top tier again until he gets his arm loose and his mid 90s fastball back. Until then I'm hoping for some creative problem solving from Ryan and Molitor and Eddie, banishing away roles (7th inning guy, 8th inning guy), using more information supplied by the analytics department, calling up some younger guys who can throw heat or strike out lefties, cutting ties with a couple other guys sooner rather than later. Better that we not wait around to act, simply to increase the sample size of things we already know.
