This deal sounds like egg number 51 for Stubby.
A waste of energy.
We traded up age-wise, which is a plus. Having another guy who can't get out Red Sox hitters seems another bonus, as long as we are counting on his history of being mildly effective every other season.
Isn't there some "day" named after this guy, where the girls get to ask out the guys?
