Oh….Jeff Baker you say. I thought they acquired John Bowker. Looks like you aren’t the only Braves fan to have this one get away from you.

Oh, I remember. He stunk. He was supposed to help with the Kelly/Raburn problem & Dirks being out for a bit. He did not deliver and I’m glad DD cut their losses on that (particularly before Leyland got attached to him and would play him out of loyalty *sigh*). Baker didn’t have a terrible record but we needed someone who could deliver well right away. Tigers don’t need another Infante going into the final stretch. Anyway, hopefully this new guy will bolster the bullpen (STOP PLAYING COKE!!!!).

Don’t worry Craig, none of us Detroit fans recall Baker doing anything in his few days as a Tiger either.
