The bullpen upgrade who wasn't, 2012 edition. We've had at least one a year eternally. So happy over Johan's no-hitter that he went on the DL from it.

Another guy, like Shoppach, who looked out of shape to me.

Wore a coach's number and wore a coach's physique.

Not particularly memorable.

Something went really wrong, because he's a good pitcher. He's the kind of reliever that Sandy should be looking for--setup men who are secretly better than most closers. I'm sorry this one didn't work out.

I thought he would turn out to be pretty good, as I recall. Oh well.

I though he'd be the sleeper in the Pagan trade. Turns out I was right; every time he got into a game, I turned off the TV and went to sleep.

I thought he'd more than make up for the difference between Pagan and Torres. This is why I'm not a GM.

Ye gods, were we overly-optimistic about this one.
