After all, he made a splash in the bullpen. That's where he made his name, such as it is. People saw something, liked it and want it to continue. Not me, mind you, not necessarily. I'm just saying, It's not a reactive view at all. I don’t think “Joba to the ‘pen” is a contrarian view. After all, he made a splash in the bullpen. That’s where he made his name, such as it is.

Man, are those generic contrarian "Joba to the 'pen" article ever old and tiring. I was surprised at the Ray's signing Pat Burrell, but it definitely helps makes their line-up something to reckon with instead just a complementary piece to the pitching staff. Crawford Burrell Longoria Pena Upton That could be one the better 2-6 lineups in the game. Upton has a real chance at going off this season. I've never been sold on Crawford being anything special, but he does have talent and he's only 26. God bless Tyler Kepner.
