Well so far so good. It looks like we replaced the innings of Williams, Albers, Jennings, Brokowski, Lidge, and Wheeler with the new arrivals and additional innings for Patton, Backe and Sampson.
The deduction is 347 earned runs over 584 innings @ 5.33 era and replaced with a projected 4.25. a reduction of 63 earned runs.
Getting closer and the good news is they are all good moves in my book. One more pitching move to go and then we need to add some more offense.

Not guaranteeing that he can repeat it, but Brocail was far from a pile of crap last year. He was very good last year for the Padres.

Last year i believe he had a 1.17 whip, VERY GOOD.
Now, it was in SD, we all know the difference in ballpark, example, WOODY.

His stats did look good last year and the ballpark did help. He's 40 and he's had injury problems before. Factor in the Astros sh*tty luck lately and you have cause for concern.

It also helped that the Padres actually score runs! ;D

The guy has a sub 4 era over his entire resume. He does get hurt but he can burn some innings, 76 last year, if he is healthy. I do not think we broke the bank and if I had the choice between bringing Borkowski back or Brocail I think the choice is obvious.
These changes are subtle, but will have great impact. As I have said before my opinion is that we have to have a 200 run swing to get to the playoffs. So far we are half way there. Let's see what they do next.
