Tallet to the pen

It looks like two of my "hopes" for the second half are coming true already, Tallet is going to get some rest and they are going to get more starts for Cecil and Rzewhatever.

This is good news. IMHO Tallet has proven he can be a good 4 or 5 starter, his recent struggles are just overuse related. I was looking it up and about 1/3 of all the innings he has pitched in mlb came in the first 1/2 of this season. If you go back over his whole pro career its something like 10%. That's at the age of 32 over 9-1/2 seasons. No point in blowing up his arm when he could be a valuable part of the rotation next season.
