Me too

His numbers looked like he couple be a decent power reliever.

But if he just had shoulder surgery at the end of August, is there any chance at all that he pitches next year?

Depends on the nature of the shoulder problem and the surgery

If it was a torn labrum, he wouldn’t pitch next year. If it was merely a slightly frayed labrum they were cleaning up, he would likely be pitching next year. And then there are even less serious shoulder injuries/surgeries.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

How will you remember the Kip Wells era?

I’ve only done the quick math, but I have him as the 16th Greatest Royal of All-Time.

Need to add the word 'poorly' in there

And no article about Kip Wells would be complete without a photo of his wife

i refused to recognize that _____ was ever on the team.

it was just a ghost pitcher miraculously struggling to get guys out on the mound in mop-up duties.

There must be an unending supply

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

Prediction

Cuevas becomes a solid reliever, ‘cause that’s how GMDM rolls.

We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue.

If so, it would probably be in a couple years or more

He probably has a lot of talent, but he’s only gotten as high as AA and has yet to perform well at that level. He still has a ways to go. This isn’t like picking up Tejeda, who was ready to be a bullpen asset immediately. This is more like the Roman Colon acquisition. Minor, cheap, zero-risk, possibly high upside. And since he’s younger than Colon, he has more time to put things together.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
