That's unfair. When he first went to the bullpen he was throwing bbs. And I know it's different than making him a middle reliever. Besides, I'm not the guy to argue the baseball stuff with--I'm just a fan who enjoys listening to you experts talk.

No offense. I'm just saying that I'm not.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
