Depressing to have a mortal bullpen again, after three years of having a lockdown one. Win just three of the five the bullpen has blown, and you're talking about a very different situation for KC breathing down Baltimore's neck).

I won't fault Moore for thinking he needed to invest in the bullpen and keep it strong, because clearly Ned can't handle it when he has to make a lot of decisions.

Soria has been a disaster for them, though. All you can do is hope that he bounces back and is better in the future. Because you're stuck with two more years of him.

If Holland is here next year, I would guess he is here on a deal that pays him Hochevar-like money in 2017 and has incentives/options that push the deal into Wade Davis-range of earnings in 2018 and possibly beyond.

Odds are slim at this point, but I won't give up on this team until they're officially eliminated. After the past few years, it would be silly to do anything else.

Kind of like continuing to put Joakim Soria in high leverage situations.
