Do you really want a pitcher whose surname starts with 'Lob'?

Now this is a bat flip.

Good. Harold Reynolds is the baseball equivalent of Edzo.

I'm thinking somebody at Fox was in a foul mood and Reynolds caught some backlash.

/Too bad, if he was Canadian, he wouldn't have caught anything

Congrats to Junior and Piazza - I want to know who are the three dingleberries who left Griffey off their ballot?

I want to know who the dingleberries were that left Tim Raines off

Hey DS, what can you tell me about Drew Storen?

Jays get P Storen from Nats for OF Revere

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I wonder if that means Osuna's headed to the rotation? Or is he the new setup man while Sanchez takes a starting spot?

Also, Pompey had better be ready to play everyday or this blows up in their faces really quickly.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I would also immensely approve of this!

Storen's tough to pin down. He's a solid reliever, and I liked this trade more for the Jays when I saw it than for the Nationals, but it's difficult to say just what kind of reliever he is.

He can strike guys out, but until his K% spiked to just under 30% last year, he was never what I'd call a true strike out reliever, posting mostly average to slightly better K rates, he does have good control, which keeps his BB% down around a very solid 7%, but his contact profile is all over the place.

Overall, though, the Jays got a good pitcher.

I love Drew Storen. Sorry to see him go. If you look at his stats from last year, they were outstanding before the team brought in human bag of shit Jonathan Papelbon.

"Storen had converted 29 save chances and had a 1.73 ERA when the Nats got Papelbon. Shifted to an eighth-inning role following that deal, Storen struggled and finished the season with a 3.44 ERA without another save. His season ended in mid-September when he slammed his locker in frustration and broke his right thumb."

I can't believe the Nats are keeping Papelbon. We will no title with him on this roster and Rizzo has undone several years of excellent management with this one inexplicable move. The move was a poor decision, and showed that while Rizzo thought the move made sense from a logistics standpoint (add roster depth), he clearly doesn't understand team chemistry and the human component to managing people (bringing in a cancer like Papelbon, "demoting" Storen who had performed admirably). Outside of the fact that Storen was pitching really well and the acquisition was totally unnecessary, Papelbon then choked out the league MVP, and you kept him on your team?

In Rizzo's role, I would have called Papelfuck to my office, written him a check for any guaranteed money owed, spit on his shoes, and said "now get the fuck out of my town."

Enjoy Drew Storen, Dash. He'll be even more driven and outstanding.

Yup, indecent exposure.

Jumbo Jim always seems to have good games against the Flames.

/Tried to comeback from two goal deficits three times last night, that's not a recipe for success.
