Thornton as closer = fail.
McDougal clones = fail.
Pissing on an electric fence = learned lesson 1st time.
Despite the kids and Youk doing good, Kenny is still the weakest link.
You can't always just buy a closer and expect immediate success. The main guy out there in the off season was Heath Bell. How's he doing these days?
KW's crystal ball should have told him the Broxton was bouncing back from a miserable 2011. Too bad it was in the shop.
Who's left? Thirty seven-year old type B free agent Francisco Cordero? Thirty seven-year old $14.5 mil Joe Nathan? Thirty eight-year old type B free agent Octavio Dotel? Been there.
$12 million Frank Francisco? $8.5 mil Ryan Madson who's now hurt?
Type A free agent Jonathan Papelbon who accepted $50 million?
What magic do you want? Who was out there that's now doing well that fit in the budget? Buehrle couldn't even come back, you expected them to throw 15 mil at a reliever?
How is Sergio Santos doing these days? Better than Reed?
