Ha, I remember now! Yeah, can't help but run afoul of, I mean, run across, The Brainer, spending time here. Both of ya are fun, and I very much appreciate your work.
Re: Cruz and Morales, while I do understand all aspects and facets of the situation (and therefore really don't have much of an opinion--kneejerk reaction: Cruz no (away splits, not defense), Morales yes, and look how accurate that instinct has been so far--Cruz, last I checked, was outhitting his historical away numbers significantly, etc.), I can't help but think they would have balanced the offense.
I was a believer in signing 3 guys (bats--Cano+2), plus a starter and 2 relievers (Ollie Perez!), trading for a center fielder, and pushing some of the fast-track guys back down to AAA, esp. Smoak and Ackley.
It is appearing, bar health, that this wish list has been nearly magically fulfilled, despite my early disappointment. Chips-'re-a-fallin' nicely so far.
Law on Brock-a-Chalk, said, despite the evidence in front of us, that Lloyd is a terrible bullpen manager. Hmmm. Maybe he just had a bad bullpen? He seems to be doing very well now....
