That is some revisionist history though.. The vets we were talking about were NOT Shoemaker, Sogard, Galvis, Stroman and Giles.. It was Morales, Martin, Pillar to name 3.
Do I miss any three of them. HELL NO! Would I rather have what we have now with at least the hope for future potential and upside, YES. Would I be even more bored and lack enthusiasm watching Morales, Martin and Pillar.. YES, I would probably rather watch darts or paint dry.
Did I enjoy the heck out of Pannone's immaculate inning much more than I would have seeing Axford and Danny Barnes pitch, Hell yea!
