Rumor has it that the Detroit Tigers are interested in Rockies’ pitcher Brian Fuentes and that the Rockies are interested in Yankees’ pitcher Kyle Farnsworth (or pr0FF3ss0r_F4rnsw0rth as he’s known on The Dugout).
A couple months ago, this would have sent me off on a rant about how getting rid of Brian Fuentes, All-Star closer, would be the stupidest thing the Rockies could do. Since then, however, Fuentes sort of imploded, sat out the All-Star game, and went on the DL, leaving young gun Manny Corpas to take over closing duties. Corpas is as hot as, well, Denver in July. I like the kid and hell, we all knew Fuentes was on the way out after this year anyway — maybe making Habeas Corpas the closer now isn’t such a big deal.
Meanwhile, teams are circling the White Sox, hoping to snag a tasty morsel from the decaying carcass of lost hope my team has become. I know the Sox need to make some changes. Although I like him, I can live with getting rid of DYE!!! if it will get someone with an ERA under, say, 972 for the bullpen.
What I can’t live with is the idea that the hottest man in baseball might get traded to the Jankees. I don’t want to be one of those women who writes about sexy athletes and all that shit, but holy hell Jon Garland is smokin’ hot. He’s also, with the exception of a couple rough games, a really good pitcher. Hey guys, the bullpen is for shit, so maybe messing with starting pitching isn’t a good idea. He just needs to do some yoga to fix that knot in his shoulder and he’ll be fine.
