I am generally not a fan of a soft-tossing relief pitcher who has no margin for error (Ring, eg) when I have other options unless that soft tosser has a nuclear out pitch and great deception, in which case, why isn't he starting?
I like filling my pen with guys who can throw strike one with their heater and keep the ball down.  Ray is wild as wild with that heater but he does tend to at least throw strike one, even if he doesn't know where that strike'll be, so at least he's got one of the two positive attributes (LOL).
They taught Aardsma to just threow 95% fastballs and aim for the outer half of the plate and it worked.  Maybe they can do it again with Ray.  Or not...in which case he's expendible and you try someone else.  Most of the rest of the pen I can live with.
