well what do you think?
First thing I thought was "what's wrong with Burnett?" when I could get their lefty off them for less than half of what they Nats just dropped on one year of Soriano, who would be the third righty in their 7-8-9 bullpen.
Then I thought why didn't they go after Affeldt if they're going to throw that kind of cash around for a 33 year old, and then they could have had a solid lefty and some chump change to throw around.
I next turned to the Dodgers, who likely drove the price on Soriano up, and wondered what they were going to do.
Now I've had a little time to look at it, and I think they overpaid, but they have the cash, Soriano has been consistent and effective throughout 5 of his last 6 seasons, but they still have a glaring hole in their rotation without a solid left handed reliever. Maybe the Morse deal for a lefty is closer than we know.
It's still a lot of cash for a reliever.
