It’s good to see our off-season acquisitions are paying off. Miles, Bradley, Gregg. We’re a shade under 10% of the season…and these three mostly suck.

Hendry must really be loving life so far this season

Gregg – awful
Bradley – awful
DeRosa – badly missed
Weurtz – would be like our 2nd best reliever :)

I think Bradley will get it going soon enough…
