They're just to erratic to be worth that. So take any type As off the table.<BR/><BR/>--No LOOGYs. Period. The only way any team has room for a guy who will be used in that way is if they have 2-3 starters who can be counted on for 200+ innings. We have none like that. So we have to use all our RPs for full innings, facing righties and lefties. We have no room for Ray King, Joey Eichen, etc.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109288910583404941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074246508221440257.post-92230334181131475442008-10-27T12:18:00.000-04:002008-10-27T12:18:00.000-04:00Steven once again I think you were dead on. I thin...Steven once again I think you were dead on. I think bringing in 2 vets to help stablize the pen would be a good idea. While our bullpen wasn't the worst if we can improve it to be good or at least above average we will see more wins as well as not putting as much pressure and innings on our young starters. <BR/><BR/>I think the names you mentioned are right on with one exception, it appears that Darren Oliver and maybe Howry might be Type A guys. These guys for this situation are def. not worth giving up draft picks. I like Juan Cruz alot also he is young so if he has a good year his trade value would be higher at the deadline. Or he would be worth more doing a 2 or 3 year deal with. Jeremy Affeldt is a guy who I think would be perfect for the Nats, he's not just a situational lefty, he's young enough that he can be effective for a couple of years.Steve Shouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995967113869172494noreply@blogger.com
