That is one paper-thin bench.

Hopefully that rotation will stay strong and will compensate for the bench.

Well, it only LOOKS paper-thin. The good news is that they're at least all sound batters.

silly question, did thorman clear waivers? i thought that he was out of options. also, i hope cox isn't planning on platooning KJ and gotay now. KJ deserves a full time shot.

bullpen looks really good on paper. and of course good back up starters in triple A.

anyone have a time table for lerew?

Thorman did clear waivers, obviously that means that no one wants him and his stinky swing. Bobby isn't going to be stupid enough to platoon Johnson and Gotay and as for Lerew, I don't know about him.

2-1 Gnats in the bottom of the seventh right now.
