I know that relievers' stats can be volatile but this is annoying. Aside from his first stint at Norfolk, his MiL stats have been consistent. He gets in five games with the Os last year, doesn't do well and is gone. Weird how effective (sss) he has been against LHers.

cyanide?

Did you miss Valencia's efforts at 3B a few games ago? Not pretty.

Trumbo, Alvarez, Davis; you have to keep two. Whom do you you choose (with Valencia on the roster)?

I'm probably missing something but if you wanted to sit Davis vs. a LHer couldn't you have Santander, Gentry in the OF, Mancini at 1B and Valencia at DH. That lineup doesn't wow me either....

Please don't bring in Brach for the 9th.

Not saying I wouldn't (but I wouldn't :-). I'm just not clear on what the compensation rules are these days.

If the Os sign Lynn or Cobb they would give up their third highest draft pick. Right?

I have a feeling we are close in age.

Where are you finding the minor league phase results? Thanks.

No. 4 on your list, Philly. Great job!

Mlbtraderumors is one place

Yep. Maybe another Jamie Moyer type? I'm also rooting for him; at the same time it aggravates me. What DD said is part of this evaluation issue for the Os. I believe Tony said at the time that he would have kept him over the other two (I'll leave the Parra part of the equation out of this😡) So, what didn't the Os see that Tony and Milwaukee did? Frustrating.

Yeah, you're right. I'm just a bit bitter about the trade.
