There are bad bullpens, and then there is the 2011 Oakland A's bullpen... a few guys have potential, but its pretty much a mess.

Rotation isn't all that bad... and if you like lineups that don't hit well for contact, hit a lot of home runs, and strike out a ton... well... I've got the best!

You also look like a guy who could use KRod.
But it wouldn't matter, I'll smash you good and dead even if that's all I do in 2011

Having Jorge Julio as your #1 setup man is as good an idea as having Sebastian Telfair as your starting point guard.

True... unfortunatley the other options aren't much better. I approached Rollie Fingers first, but he didn't want to pitch anymore.

It might actually be a little worse... I'm trying to deal Sheets, Chavez and Roberts... so I could have a lineup sans those three guys, which would put Bartling at short, melillo at 2nd, ramirez at 3rd, and drago at DH...

Jo-se, Jo-se, Jo-se, Jo-se...Me-sa...is gay

[bjd2933]

Its actually an entirely different Jose Mesa...
