Agreed, but I thought there was at least a recognition it was a bad move when they brought in Cruz at a similar cost (and a 2nd round draft pick) after the market had fallen apart.

Anyways, way to win the damn game today with Cruz and Soria, your two best arms in the pen, doing their level best to help us win with a total of... 0 IP. That still falls at the foot of the manager as well as the GM.

SI
