Scoop - This is from Phil Rogers:
 
As much as I enjoyed Jon Miller, ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball is better with a three-man booth that includes Bobby Valentine and Orel Hershiser. Those two always find something to add. Valentine pounded on Rangers starter Alexi Ogando for lacking quality breaking pitches on Sunday, saying he's not going to enjoy much success as a starter without a better selection of pitches than he had against the Yankees. He also said a team is making a mistake if it moves a successful closer into the rotation, as the Rangers almost did with Neftali Feliz, and pointed to Mariano Rivera as the single most important piece of the Yankees' long run -- meaning he values Rivera more highly than even Derek Jeter. That's saying a lot. Joe Morgan, who was Miller's long-time partner, rarely added much.

So far, Tampa would be getting the better end of the trade if was just a straight up Fuld for Garza swap.

Andrew Freidman is smart.  Jim Hendry is dumb.

PV left the game in Birmingham after 15 pitches. 

I don't think he will ever throw another pitch in the major leagues.

Remember how disappointed we were last year that we didn't get him?

I think that was two years ago, but yeah, he was Brian Roberts, part deux.

Don't get me wrong. I love Sam Fuld. But let's revisit the trade at the end of the season.

Remember early 2004, when everybody was whining about Hee Seop Choi's hot April and DLee's cold one?

Yeah - I'd agree with a comment below the article - probably alcohol-related
