    Uhh, Liriano's numbers don't look good. Is there a catch?

    I am glad we can continue the Scott Feldman Memorial Astros-Blue Jays Swap a 6th Starter Transaction.

    Now can we go back to freaking out about Luhnow not doing anything?

    Put him in the bullpen as a lefty specialist?

    He is definitely the lefty specialist unless he proves he can do more in pen. May make a spot start if needed during season.

    There's no chance he gave up Fisher for Liriano.

    How often does he walk one of them though...not directed at you personally but I'm getting tired of some fluffing some do on Sipp. "Recently he has been decent," blah blah blah. Sipp is terrible. End of story.

    I'm guessing they only acquire two pitchers based on roster numbers, but even if they add Britton, I'm fascinated to watch what happens with Darvish. Unlike OAK and Gray, TEX is desperate to move him... and if they're having a hard time finding a match with LAD, maybe there's a buy-low opportunity.
