    Amazing. Drafted in third round, 2000. Traded for one-game wonder Brian Barton, 2009. He's 35 years old.

    Guessing it wasn't a long negotiation.

    It was really young until Bobby got a hold of him. They found this in the bullpen after Boyer had pitched for Cox for a couple of years.

    bowman said he had a good shot to make the team.

    Is he your ground ball, bp specialist?

    Pen seems to be getting crowded.

    He's not really a ground ball specialist

    I don't see how we fit Boyer, Winkler and Rivero all in the bullpen, so it seems likely to me that we'll be shipping one of the last two back to their original teams.

    I've been hoping we would sign Boyer. He's not as young as he used to be, but I think he can still help us. It's good to have him back.
