no not at all. it's a cheap move. i was warning the LANC, don't nag if livan sucked, b/c this is exactly the type of move the Lerners are known for: searching through the bargain bin.
now it's time to step up and get a front of the line starter in addition.
It was a smart baseball move - you have tunnel vision. What other innings eaters were available at league minimum that day, especially pitchers who are extra motivated to stay in DC due to a love of Georgetown?
