Colome got the job done for the last two years, but Hendriks is better than him. I'd much rather have a closer that's missing bats than one who depends on weak contact and the defense behind him.

Assuming health checks out, Kluber could be a great option for a short-term spot in the rotation. I'd be all for it. 1 year + incentives and maybe an option? Giddy up.

Glass half full approach, no news means no bad news.

In the question right before that one he addresses the closer situation and Hendriks/Hand/Colome, so I took it as he was referring to those specific players in his answer.

FWIW, In Merkin's latest mailbag he did say that the Sox will be in attendance for Kluber's workout next week.

I know it's more of a blooper than anything, but whenever I hear Lasorda's name, I always think of this. This one is great as well

They seem to like the volume approach to trades.

They're taking a very "matter of fact" approach as opposed to the others, so in a sense I could see the similarities.
