Ugh. Bill Bray = confusing. His numbers are good, but he can get hit soooo hard (regardless of what the stat freaks say).

His numbers are *deceiving.*

I didn't say "pulling a Patterson from the last 2 months". I said "pulling a Patterson". Check out what Corey has done over his career. He has played longer than June and July of 2008.
No, he is going to make everything alright.
Hopefully.
I'm not at all persuaded yet that Bray is part of this team's future. I watched him pitch Dukes and Belliard. I just don't see much except a fastball without much movement he tries to locate, not terribly well. Sorry to say it.
No kidding.

Sure woulda hated to have more at bats like that at the begining of the season. No way it would have helped the offense. Nope.
He's 25, battled injuries, and yet has a very good ERA and K rate for each of the first three months. He's a setup man, and the best the Reds have seen in years.

Former Red Charlie Manning? For heaven's sake, Bowden has got some kind of fascination. I wonder if he has a lockerroom video feed in his office.

Never let details get in the way of a good rant.
Burton is the best setup man in years. Bray is a guarantee to let runners on base score.

Bruce's OPS on the year is .736.
Patterson's OPS requires characters that aren't available on this laptop.
at what rate?
Good problem to have, figuring out which young middle reliever is best for the Reds.

Um, no. Burton is on a different level than Bray is. There is nothing to figure out. There's nothing wrong with having Bill Bray in your bullpen, though.
Read it again.
