[USML Announce] Reserve Rosters Hot Sheet: Can Bargain BasementBombers Bash Berliners?

Mon Dec 17 16:17:56 EST 2012

Kerbs, in light of the devastating blows your reserve roster has and will
continue to take this offseason (let's see if Alexis Rios remains in the AL
much longer), one can appreciate you hoping for news better than Mark
Reynolds' agreement to stay with the Orioles. Unlike you, the Royals
recognize that Greg Holland's 16 saves and 91 Ks in 67 IP  compel his
return as closer, your proclamations about Kelvin Herrera
notwithstanding. You will have to content yourself with Rafael Soriano,
unless Boras's crazed demands result in Soriano signing on with the Nippan
Ham Fighters.
