Wild Thing: A move to the bullpen wasn't what Danny Salazar wanted, 'but it's something that maybe I needed'

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The bullpen door swung open and, for the first time in his career, Danny Salazar jogged toward the infield for a regular-season relief appearance.

As he reached the mound, a song blared from the Progressive Field speakers.

Wild Thing. You make my heart sing. You make everything groovy. Wild Thing.

Salazar said he did not select that number. He did, however, sport Rick Vaughn glasses during spring training last year. And, he has, at times, struggled with his command this season, though not to the degree in which the "Major League" character often did.
