Manager Dave Trembley commented on reliever Matt Albers, according to MLB.com. Trembley said, "I don't think it's that he doesn't have the stuff to be a starter. I think it's just his value to us is as a long guy. I think if you use him on our club right now as a starting pitcher, you're opening up a hole in our bullpen that I'm not so sure we can fill right now. I just don't see that. I think he's very valuable what he's doing right now. he fits in rather nicely as a long reliever. I'm talking about the guys that we have up and coming in this organization that we have earmarked to be starting pitchers for us. I think this guy really complements those guys and really establishes a bridge to get to the guys in the eighth and ninth inning. He's almost like a sixth starter. But right now, I see his forte as being a long guy."
