that being said melvin has just picked up torres. with torres, riske, gangne and mota. the last 2 are big ?
i think melvin and the org are loading up this bullpen and like **** ,throwing it against the wall to see what sticks.
anything to try to get that mess cleaned up is fine by me. spent on somebody better maybe or maybe he will turn it around and give us at least something.
just watch out for the brew crew's bats. this team has just started to pound the ball

Melvin is scrambling to do all he can since they lost Cordero to an divisional rival in the Reds. The Reds paid Cordero 46 million over 4 years, which is ridiculous! I thought the crew offered him too much at $42 million for 4 yrs. I agree with pdrift, melvin is throwing them all at the wall to see what sticks. If one of them works out it is a good deal. Gagne for 1 yr is not as big of a risk as Cordero for 4 yrs at 46 million. Gagne may have lost it, but a change of scenary to the NL might do him good. All of the closers combined are not as expensive as it would be to pay Cordero. 1 yr deal gives Gagne a lot of incentive to pitch well, otherwise he is done.
