It will be interesting to see if Belisle can provide some stable long relefe. I do question why they optioned Burns back to Louisville instead of an DFA. The guy just plain stinks...and he has stunk in three different stints with the team. It's not like this is his first trip to the bigs. Maybe Louisville is just desperate for arms and need a warm body to keep on the roster, but if it were me I'd send him packing and open the spot for a youngster that has a chance of someday making the team.

Is this like finding one more row boat on the Titanic?

Burns has been really good in AAA this year. Maybe they thought he could help Louisville.

Good to see Belisle back.

Belisle is a better rower than Burns. Burns would crash the rowboat into a iceberg if he had the chance.

More like a broomstick and an inflatable chaise lounge.

Mike Burns = pitching version of Brandon Larson?

Burns boat had a giant hole in hull long before he crashed it.
