Zach (NYC): With the Fausto Carmona experiment not going particularly well (to say the least), will we get to see Fernando Cabrera get a chance to close some games by the end of the year? He couldn't be worse than Carmona...

The Indians currently plan to stick with Carmona, not condemning him based on two blown saves in Boston, but I've watched the guy enough to know he has a live arm but not much command. He really can't hit his spots yet.
