I remember when Kazmir was traded and a lot of people "in the know" questioned his intensity and vulnerability... I thought trading him was a mistake, but bringing him back now is two wrongs that don't make a right.
Mack, agreed! But there ahs been much too much chatter to ignore it. The only way I could see him fitting in is as a closer. But Krod isn't going anywhere, so could he be a set up man. At his price tag, I say no! Not with Wagner coming back!
