The Unresolved Bullpen Angst Thread

Can we just have a roster spot open, so that Lou is never tempted to use Chad Fox ever again?

And we really let Gaudin go and then waived Vizcaino so that Fox could ultimately be in the pen?  Really?

Really?  Are you seriously going to complain about letting Gaudin and Vizcaino go?

When the options get comparatively shittier?  It's not even a "complaint," as much as it is me saying "Chad Fox really fucking sucks."

Chad Fox is by all accounts a great guy, and it's great he's come back twice from injuries....

It's a great story that would play much better in Pittsburgh or Baltimore.

But would it play in Peoria?

It would play with an ERA of about 7.

Apparently the Indians are battling the Orioles for most ex-Cubs.

According to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal, the Indians intend to sign right-hander Luis Vizcaino to a minor league deal.
Vizcaino was designated for assignment by the Indians in late April. The 34-year-old is likely to spend some time at the Triple-A level before he's trusted in the majors. The Cubs are still on the hook for his $3.5 million 2009 salary.

SPOILER ALERT: Most "ex-Cubs" is not a good strategy.

Hey they only gave up 12 runs before the first out in an inning last night, it's not like the Tribe is desperate for pitching.

So Wood didn't get the save?

Orioles aren't going to give up easily.

They are trying to trade for Gathwright according to crazy rumor guy.

I know Freel sucks balls at the plate, but it would sure be nice to have an actual backup third baseman on the roster.
