Wow, I know the Braves rocked him yesterday but I didn’t think it would be to the point where he would be out of a job. I doubt Saul Rivera will be an upgrade, although that’s not saying too much when your bullpen ERA is 7.68. If only they did have a bullpen they could be a very good team.

The Braves should trade Wagner for Upton. “Sarcasm”

No exaggeration, Howry was the worst reliever I’ve seen put on a Dbacks uniform.
And I’ve seen some bad, bad pitchers.
He just set a record for most pitches thrown without recording an out.
And 3.8 HR/9! Taking “Home Run Howry” to another level.

Enjoy Saul. He was okay for awhile and then I think we burned him out. He certainly was godawful for us last year and took a turn at Syracuse before finally getting his walking papers for Bruney. Would be truly sad for the Nationals to get used and abused by Bruney while Saul turns into something servicable. Nothing but respect for the guy and hope he pans out for the DBacks.

It’s impossible to be worse than Howry, so I think it’s a good move.
On a side note, who in the hell thought Heilman would be the Dbacks best reliever? Then again, it’s not very difficult to be our best reliever. Rosa’s basically our bullpen ace now, due to his one scoreless inning.

“Aside from Aaron Heilman, everyone has struggled.”
The universe just imploded.

they did this a couple days too late. Saul Rivera absolutely OWNS Chipper Jones. Not sure what the stats are or why exactly but I’ve seen them before and it’s suprising.

$2.25 million? Really?

I can’t believe the Dbacks signed him after how bad he did with the Giants!

“and released Bob Howry, tweets Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse.”
Oh God, please no…
Hendry, step away from the Reliever!!!
