Who will allow a run first, Lopez or Cano? 

9.2 scoreless for Lopez, 7 for Cano.

Well Lopez has allowed three hits and Cano has yet to allow a hit or walk so plus for Cano so far!

And Cano has more Ks in less IP.

Is there a handicap for the 3 mph difference in sinkers?

Lopez has been very good. Imagine if Elias had traded Cionel Perez at the deadline instead and the O's had Lopez-Cano-Bautista to close out games.

Imagine a world where we could’ve bought Cano without having to give up Lopez?  Kudos to our development staff for “fixing” Cano. Cano was looking like a throw in last year as a guy that was on the Twins 40 man roster, but not really contributing.

Cano leads in rwar .7 to .6, makes 2.5 M less, and has 4 more years of service time!

Feeling better about the bullpen?

Imagine a world where we can also fix Perez and have him and Cano, assuming Cano keeps throwing this well.

Yeah man, plus Givens and Tate? Jesus. We'd have a bullpen with a closer and 5 setup men lol.

Bump.  The usual.  Good for laughs.

Not so funny when we probably missed the playoffs because we relied more heavily on Krhiebel and Baker.  Then we tried filling the empty spot in the pen with Jake Reed.  Real funny.
