Erubiel Durazo accepted a minor league deal with the Rangers but was released a week or two ago. If we were depending on Durazo instead of Thome as our DH, our lineup would be a lot weaker right now.
I think Billy Beane is finding out that he can't just throw any starter into the bullpen (Kirk Saarloos, Brad Halsey, and probably Joe Kennedy as well).
Someone must not know that the Big Unit throws around 93 MPH these days.
Either way, good for Frank. I hope he hits 500. I'd still rather have Thome though. He's a bit younger and I think he will stay healthier.
He also called Rolen's grand slam...
