You DO Win Friends With Salas

Salas has 8 saves on the year in 8 tries.

Unlike the conventional wisdom that you don't win friends with salad, Cardinals newly crowned closer, Fernando Salas is securing wins a-plenty.  The Cardinals bullpen is full of BAMF young talent.  Besides Salas there is also Eduardo Sanchez, Mitchell Boggs, a currently DL'd Bryan Augenstein and to an extremely lesser extent, Motte.  I can see a bright future of Salas as the closer, Sanchez as the set up guy and Boggs in mid relief.  That is a nice 1,2,3 punch. So for you non-Cardinal fans who only associate Ryan Franklin and maybe Motte as the Cardinals bullpen, you need to get with the program.  This is a young group of very talented arms that will be as solid as any bullpen in the league for years to come.
