On the contrary, I think the Brats screwed the pooch. Kudos to the Brats who think they can take 4th place from me. Bring it on, O! Mighty Sausages! <div><br></div><div>In any event, the K-9 dismantling has begun and I'm sure the Berliners' dump truck is pulling up to the back porch. I'm sure Brother Jeffrey would love to move another guaranteed contract (Jennings-15) onto the K-9 roster.</div>

<div>I sort of get the offense for saves part, but I think Andy overpaid from that perspective. More importantly, why would a team that's going nowhere this year (K9) take on a long-term contract on a guy who's about one bad outing away from becoming a former closer? It's not as if Pestano will be a big enough bargain at $9 to offset Johnson's contract, if Pestano takes over the job. <font color="#ff6666">I think Andy screwed himself.</font></div>
