They do that and people will come Mr. Glass, oooh the people will come.

I liked it. They are both relief pitchers who are reasonable bounce-back candidates. Both signed cheap minor league "show-me" contracts, there's almost no risk, and now we might have some more bullpen depth.

The Tavaras signing looks pretty useless to me, even if we don't think he'll make the team I see no point in having him in Omaha, either.

As of right now, CAIRO has us winning the division about 25% of the time and making the playoffs about 40% of the time.

Do those win/loss totals even out the way they are supposed to? As in 2,430 victories and 2,430 losses?

Not quite.

Orioles LMAO

This year, losing more than 1 or 2 games to the Astros would be a serious setback.

Where is our resident Orioles humper anyway?

You mean KnO'smo?

:LOL:

Perfect

Meh, stuff happens. How many years to we win/split series with the Cards or Yanks and they still went on to have success.

I'm starting to get very excited for this season. I wonder what our chances of making the playoffs would be if we traded prospects for Dickey? I also bet this doesn't take into account a Duffy and Paulino return for the 2nd half.

Lets give that extra loss to the Tigers and extra victory to us.

This makes me wonder, is it possible losing those two was a blessing in disguise? If they stay healthy we still don't make the playoffs or maybe even come close but with them going down the team was forced to go out and dramatically improve the rotation. If they stay healthy do we really get Santana, Shields, or Guthrie? Probably not. We probably win about 5-8 more games and that is good enough to continue relying on Hoch, Chen, and Mendoza/Teaford/Smith for longer.
