Until he's in the majors, I don't care.  Reclamation projects just don't work for us... EVER.

Dmitri Young, Nyjer Morgan... Those two worked well their first season. Then turned to absolute crap.

Of course, I do not believe we have ever had a successful pitching reclamation project in our history. Well, no, I take that back. We did have Daniel Cabrera. My god, what a success story that one was. Heck, even a non-reclamation turning into a reclamation project hasn't worked out yet. Marquis fits that, was a non-reclamation upon coming here and not is clearly a work in progress. So yeah, we have had next to zero luck. That's on the GM first and center, and there's no excuse for it. How many other teams have had zero success stories from guys at rock bottom over the past six years? It's unacceptable how bad they've been taking a chance at a guys second chance.
