Three innings from Weathers? What's the story? Gonna stretch him back out and move Belisle to the pen?!

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

Bray's on the 40 man, Mercker isn't. Of course Mercker has played for Dusty before and is beloved within the organization. So who knows.
Bray might start the season on the DL with shoulder inflammation or something.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

That wouldn't surprise me at all.
You'd still have to make a spot for Mercker, though.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
I liked that Cueto worked out of the first inning jam with only giving up a couple of runs. Marty was wailing and gnashing his teeth about how unexpected this was, etc. and finally Chris Welsh told him this was a good thing happening, that it was better than him just putting up a 1-2-3 inning; that in spring it can be good for a youngster to face adversity and to work your way out of it. I had to go in to the bank after the first two runs scored, so I don't know how he got out of it, but I was glad to see he did.
