I'm pretty sure that 'stuff' can be found in American Legion ball. I've never understood the thinking that everyone in the bullpen has to be a fireballer. I think Byrdak's best value (next year, probably) would be stretched out as a 2-3 inning or 50 pitch long guy. Especially with so many 96 mph guys in the rotation. On a whole other, the Freep reports that Hannahan from Toledo has been sent to Oakland. No word on the return. I don't think they have much talent at all below the 40-man, so I don't really see how anything of value comes of this. On another whole other, isn't the deadline to pick the PTBNL from StL coming up? Any rumors who it is? An arrow-straight fastball? I’m pretty sure that ’stuff’ can be found in American Legion ball.

Keep in mind that if DD were to go looking for an arm to replace him, he would want someone with STUFF like Grilli has. I don't think he's going anywhere because he CAN throw hard.

Though he was left out there on numerous occasions that he shouldn't have been. Lefties are hitting McBride better than righties; so much for lefty specialist.

Reminds me of what can happen when you misplace your car keys. As you start freaking out because you can't find them, the tendency is to keep going back to look in the same place over and over again, even though you really know they aren't going to be there. It's the same thing with the recent call-ups. They've all been up before, didn't accomplish anything and were sent back down. I guess the hope is that this time they magically "show up". I guess we can keep our fingers crossed that something sticks here, but on the other hand this might be round one with more to come.
