If you look at the list of free agents still available on the free agent market, one group in particular is rather untapped: the middle relievers. Quality relief pitchers like Joe Beimel, Will Ohman, Brian Shouse, Juan Cruz, and Brandon Lyon all remain unsigned and do not appear close...

Eddie Kunz might be making Omar's job a lot easy but not in a way that will make the young reliever happy. Coming off an eight run implosion in his last outing, Kunz was once again shaky (ERA 12.79). Last night with an eight run cushion, Kunz took over in the ninth and allowed...

"Giants add LHP Affeldt to bullpen." There goes that idea. The Giants were able to sign Jeremy Affeldt to a pretty affordable deal too, locking him up for 2 years and $8m. It's hard to tell if that number is inflated or right in line with the rest of the market given...
