And the Melk-man is GONE??? WTF?


They needed more pitching and unfortunately, Melky was expendable when they traded for Granderson because they had 4 outfielders. I scratched my head at first when I heard they traded for Vazquez but they could have done worse with a #4 starter. Joba will probably be #5 which means Hughes may stay in the bullpen as the setup man again this season.
