    Ever since we exposed Bobby Abreu in the expansion draft, we have been cursed that if we have one Abreu on the roster, at least one will be dead weight.

    ...in all seriousness, the Bryan Abreu as closer era must end today. Until Hader gets back, King should close.

    I really wanted us to sign one reliever this off season that had some closing experience but wasn't the primary closer. Someone like, but not, Presley.

    Ryan Pressly would probably happily give up that cushy SCHN gig for a shot...

    Bobby Abreu hurt. We chose roided out Richard Hidalgo. Awful. Yeah, the Abreu experiment should end
