What has done them in is poor trading and the worst bullpen in baseball. There are some prospects in the minors who could help, but this is not a crop to shout about.

It’s too bad; Josh Byrnes at the time of hiring was supposedly one of the best up and coming assistant GMs around. I don’t know if he needed more seasoning or what, but he pulled the gun on some dumb trades.

You cannot make this stuff up. Kirk Gibson! That should certainly make up for the lack of talent, hitting skills, and pitching. Kirk Gibson! Yeah!
