WHAT!?!?
First Britton’s injury, then Kim’s voided contract, now this!?!?
Oh, the humanity!

Noooooo! Not the ostrich!
Clay Rapada once led the league in percentage of inherited runners stranded. Fu Te Ni did the same in back to back seasons with the Tigers. I loved the pose that Rapada had after the wind up, before the delivery, standing on one leg with his long arm a couple inches off the ground, holding the ball in his claw in a momentary pause. the Tigers traded Craig Monroe for him. Good trade!

I somehow forgot about Craig Monroe, another not so great player inexplicably adored by Detroit fans and front office alike. He’s like Delmon Young, but with actual power
Patrick OKennedy
I don’t get the DY love, either. Better shot at his bro making a comeback. No glove, no stick, but 2 HR’s in the LDS vs NYY was nice!

Hey…Monroe was the man.

Angels been looking for a left hander so I think they should take a chance with minor league contract
Orlando Cabrera County
Clearly they are taking there anger over the Kim deal fallout on the wrong guy.

Fear the Stache

Apparently this is not him. But fear it anyway I guess…

With the way this guy pitches to lefties he will have no problem finding a job somewhere in MLB. Not sure why a team with so little pitching depth let him go completely though.

I agree, his slash line vs. LH hitters is .153/.252/.220 for his career. Used the right way, I could see this guy having some value.
