Indians DFA Graves

The Cleveland Indians have designated for assignment our old pal Danny Graves (via Marc). He had a 2-1 record and a 5.79 ERA in 13 appearances. Graves allowed runs in four of those 13 appearances. When he gave 'em up, he gave 'em up big time, but he was effective most of the time.
Am I just jaded by the Reds' bullpen, or does that not seem that bad? Comparatively, our current pal Rick White is the owner of a 1-0 record an a 6.19 ERA in 16 appearances. He's allowed runs in seven of his 16 appearances.
Not that I would ever recommend bringing back Graves, but after games like last night's you find yourself thinking crazy things.
Hey, we could use a starting pitcher!
Dude, don’t even say things like that. Of course, you know that if Krivsky picked up Graves, he would suddenly turn to gold.
Shame on you both for even thinking about Graves coming back to the Reds again. I suppose next you’ll be clamoring for Josh Hancock and Luke Hudson, or maybe even D’Angelo Jimenez.
As Homer Simpson once yelled at his kids (on national TV):
Go to your rooms!
And spank yourselves!

Well, I never! The day I have to resort to spanking myself will be a sad, sad day.
All I was getting at was that people in the Cleveland organization who are better than people in the Cincy organization get cut. Of course, if Gravy was up to his old tricks, he had more going against him than just his shoddy performance.
