I'm supposed to get excited over...

Joe Borowski?
Roberto Hernandez?
Aaron Fultz? (well, I guess stealing a White Sox player isn't so bad)
David Dellucci?

Buster Olney seems to love our moves... I hope so. The four guys above clearly could play well, but it won't be a surprise if they don't.

And Octavio Dotel may be next?

These are all questionable moves... it could work out, then again, it may be another Jose Jimenez signing. I guess I just have to wait until April.

First, don't listen to Buster Olney on any matter. He is just slightly above Kruk as a commentator.

But with that being said, you had the worst bullpen last year. And you added two guys in Fultz and Borowski who are at least serviceable. Actually Borowski is more than serviceable. They are definately upgrades over Cabera, Carmona, and Mota. They were god awful. And say what you want about good ole Hernandez. He can still pitch. That's three holes you shored up in the bullpen. Nice.

And Dellucci? Well he is a serious upgrade of Michaels. And this might actually give you the flexiability to move Blake back to third and get Boone out of there. Why does he still have a job?

Am I supposed to dislike Michaels? I thought he was pretty good for us last year.

You are right about Casey, though. having a RF who bats 9th is just wrong to me.

I listened to Cleveland radio the other day - they were excited about the bullpen deals because now we " can move Carmona to the rotation". I almost drove off the road. Huh? What makes anyone think that this young flamethrower is starting material?

Avg, OBP, and Slug
.267 .326 .391

Umm, that's not pretty good. That's not good, that's terrible. Especially for an outfielder. In comparison, Blake's OBP .356 and Slugged .479.
