A shell maybe, but a setup guy who in 33 and a third has given up 8 ER, K'd 29, is not what I would call a horrible pick up.
When your starters only have to go 5, possibly 6 innings before you can give the ball to 3 or 4 of the best relievers this year, it is not a bad situation.
Atlanta made the best moves this trading season, but Boston got a guy that helps the team, and makes a good bullpen even better.
Also, who cares about Basketball?
