I voted for temporarily replace. I know, I know. I said after he blew his last save opportunity that he needed to go, but I was very highly frustrated and needed to vent. But after rationally thinking it over, I seriously think that a temporary break from the closers role will do him a lot of good. I still think in the meantime that the Cards should temporarily call up Chris Perez and allow him to get a few pre-career saves and to get some much treasured pre-career pointers from Izzy.
Look, no-one feels any worse about the blown saves than Jason Isringhausen himself. He, after blowing his last save opportunity, went to TLR and removed himself as closer for the good of our team. I have a renewed belief that Izzy's plan will pay off later on. And I will be looking forward to Izzy returning as our closer.
To replace Izzy entirely would be an injustice to him, the team and to us fans in Cardinals Nation as he is only 8 saves shy of #300. What we need to be doing is instead of trash talking about him we should be standing behind him in full support.
Go Cards!!!! 68
