Another buyer for Sellers!

Too much for Axford at his performance level. Gomez got a bad rap after a rough start and then rarely pitched thereafter. He’s no Rivera, but not as bad as generally perceived.

Why does NH love these light hitting infielders so much?

Sure, NOW they DFA Gomez. Pirates fans traded their Jolly Rogers for White Flags whenever that guy came into a game yet they insisted on keeping him around for who knows why… Don’t understand why they even bothered if they had no plans for him anyway.
Sellers sounds like a swiss army knife type IF which makes sense now that super-sub J-Hay is going to be the permanent 3B. Also, it probably means they aren’t going after Barmes which makes sense because they signed Barmes as insurance and he really didn’t contribute anything. As long as Sellers can play okay defense, he’ll just be a cheaper alternative.

Cardinals need to pick up Axford he was really good as a cardinal

Gomez was compelled to issue the most intentional walks on the Pirates staff. To cite his BB/9 is misleading as an indicator of effectiveness.
