Looks like a good roster. I'm ready for the Opener.
Here's a weird thought: with guys like Silva at the back of the rotation, is there a reason we haven't looked into trying to sign Pedro Martinez? I mean, if you're gonna throw something against a wall to see if it sticks, would you go with a HOFer who went 5-1 last year and pitched in the World Series, or with Carlos freaking Silva?
Second off-the-wall thought: would/could Pedro pitch as a closer? If not, <i>why</i> not?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
