Baseball’s Savior

Tom “Flash” Gordon signed with the Phillies yesterday and he’s making some nice dime. Three years, $18 million. So now that he’s out of the picture, we can concentrate on signing Kyle Farnsworth. And it looks like he was waiting for Gordon to sign to hopefully inflate his price a little. In addition, it looks the Rangers are in the mix but I expect it to be an easy decision for him. Yankee pinstripes trumps all.

I was thinking about it and I wouldn’t have minded if they signed both Gordon and Farnsworth, basically giving us shutdown relievers for three innings. You could also spell Rivera now and then in save situations by giving the ball to the pitcher with the most rest. But now that can’t happen.
