Mike Montgomery has been one of the bullpen's most consistent relievers, so why isn't he being used in more high-leverage situations?
They say dress for the job you want, not the job you have. That’s the only way I can explain whatever is growing on Mike Montgomery’s face: an attempt at a high-leverage beard, in the style of Brian Wilson or Bruce Sutter or whatever battery-acid accident was going on with Rodney’s goatee last year. If that’s what it takes, so be it; Mike Montgomery is currently being used in low-leverage situations, and this should change sooner rather than later.
