    Seems like an okay middle relief option. We need live bodies in the pen at this point and Edwin is at least that... I think.

    Maybe with a few of his patented implosions we'll lock up a Top 5 pick.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I loved Edwin when he first came up. Had great stuff, but never put it all together.

    I, too, suffered from premature E-Jax adulation.

    Let's just be glad he won't get the chance to mentor Wood.

    Yeah, but It's curious to sign E-Jax after having been so concerned about Wood blowing up.

    Especially after being so dissatisfied with Johnson's assorted explosions.

    I'm concerned for Jackson's future since McDowell is his pitch coach again.

    I think Julio and I have the combined emotional maturity of an eight-year-old boy.
