But Burgos takes being a piece of shit closer to a new level.

Right now we have a good core of starters. We have to think in terms of what it takes to compete for a championship. And in today's game a closer like Soria is like Priest Holmes at the goal line. Just get him there and the game is over, he will take care of the rest. Even our 4 and 5 guys are decent and Hochevar will probably become more dominant as he progresses. Davies..well I wont say much but I am somewhat impressed so far.
We need some sticks as Avilles has shown us what 1 decent bat can do when it replaces an automatic out.
