I don't mind the three catchers since Valentin is the #1 LH PH.

Justin Speier please.
You want to spend 4.25 million per year for 4 years on a middle relief pitcher? Finding a good middle reliever is too much of a crap shoot to do that.

They may be expensive, but it doesn't mean you should spend less on ancient pitchers. It doesn't work that way. There's no value in "bad."

I don't know if I would call Stanton "bad". He's average, and average is an upgrade over what we had last year.

I mind that he's the #1 LH PH.

I'm for making that Scott Hatteberg's job.

Another good point--this team's bench sucks.

The bullpen had its share of "average" last year. Why not "good" for once?

All you need for a bullpen is alot of "average" and a good closer. Problem is we don't haev a good closer.

You need lots of good. Or at least two very good pitchers in the pen to contend.

You can patch a bullpen together if you have a good closer.

See: the Cardinals in the 2006 playoffs.
