Mo has been pitching well for a while now. He had an ungodly april and a crappy start to May. Ever since Mid May he has been unhittable.

The article doesn't necessarily say that they're going to do that, so I'm curious to see what they actually do in the next week or so. However, I'm also curious whether they'll be able to trade away Farnsworth along with some of the other relievers on this team.

who else would you trade though? Vizcaino has been pitching very well of late. Proctor is Torre's crutch and has pitched effectively, if not heartwrenching. Bruney has been effectively wild. Villone has been alright. Myers is better against righties for some strange reason. The pen is rounding into form. The only guy going in the opposite direction is Farnsworth.

Right now, the bridge is best if Farns is gone. Bring up Britton, use Edwar more and this pen could be solid for the stretch run.

We're going to have to agree to disagree about Bruney, because I really don't like him. As for Proctor, he seems like, as you have noted, he is just extremely tired. You're probably right about him though, maybe some rest do him a world of good. Although I would not argue with the fact that Joe has a history of ruining relievers, and he may have done the same to Proctor.
