I think that was the name of a TV show in the 80s that I never watched. Anyway, we signed former Blue Jays and Orioles closer, B.J. Ryan. The good news: He's a lefty and would allow us to move Marshall to the roation until Dempter is back if we want. He had 3 great seasons-36 saves and a 2.43 ERA in 2005, 38 saves and a 1.37 ERA in 2006, and 32 saves with a 2.95 ERA in 2008. The bad news: He had ligament replacement surgery in 2007(but he did bounce back), he has been injured this year and has control and velocity problems(that is really not good), and he currently has a 6.53 ERA. He has given up 22 hits(5 HRs) and 17 walks in 20 and 2/3 innings. He's starting off in AAA Iowa. Overall, I'm glad we did it. Really why not?
