Not sure what the plan is with Edwards is, but he's a converted starter so I don't think they've ruled that out. Rondon lost his place due to ineffectiveness caused by injury. If he's healthy and effective, I expect he'll slide back in to the primary set-up role. But it's Maddon so I'd have just as much insight using a dart board.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

The steamer issue is that they have a KBO->MLB translation model. They have to because players come to the MLB from KBO without any other data points. Unfortunately that model is highly variable and unreliable.

"Cody is our closer," said Francona on Saturday, ending the debate once and for all. Just as he did last season, Allen will work the ninth inning with stud left-hander Andrew Miller serving as a jack-of-all trades. Allen and Miller were lights out in the playoffs last fall, combining for a 0.82 ERA over 33 innings of work. There's no reason to believe Cleveland's late-inning duo will be any less dominant in 2017.

After Miller got traded to Cleveland the guy who had Allen cut him. Allen passed through waivers ($21 salary). I picked him up the next week for $5. Smiling."Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes." Oscar Wilde
