Max Schrezer
Jeff Clement
Wladimir Balentien

Please don't let it have an effect on the riveting post you promised about how you are going to drop Liriano. The plot lines on that one are breathtaking....
Do not forget Nick Adenhart while you are there. They say 3 starts. I say if he throws well Garland sucks and is in the last year of that contract and Kelvim Escobar's arm fell off in the shower this morning. Luckily Jackstraw is working on a post on how they can reattach it.

Not very impressed with Adenhart so far... Looks like you might be able to get him for $10...

Is it too late to hope people will throw gobs of money at him? I was hoping for a spectacular debut.

Sadly, I don't think he will snab Scherzer.
