Beat writer Anthony Castrovince threw in interesting name in to the bullpen mix post-September 1: Vinnie Pestano.

While his may not be a household name, the Columbus closer has quietly put up very good numbers this season. Between Akron and Columbus Pestano’s ERA is 1.91, at Columbus alone it is a measly 1.66.

With the Clippers he has thrown 43.1 innings over 40 appearances giving up 35 hits and 10 runs (eight earned) through that span. At the pace he is on he has only allowed 0.2 walks per nine innings; combine that with the 4.46 strikeouts for each walk he has notched, and there’s no surprise he is under consideration.

Pestano has 12 saves on the season, the last eight coming consecutively. Though Chris Perez has the closers job on lock down in Cleveland, the .213 batting average against make Pestano a name to watch for.
