Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post is reporting, that Jerry Manuel will have a talk with J.J. Putz on Wednesday and there's speculation that the struggling set-up man, may lose his 8th inning role.Many, including myself, have been saying that Bobby Parnell should be setting-up until Putz gets himself right.

"If I tell you now, then that'll get me in trouble." source NY Post
