Someone said that they've lost their swagger ever since Price left, and I sort of agree with that. I agree with the decision to let Price go at that price (heh), but then it looks like you are not trying to field the best team. Damned if you do, damned if you don't sort of thing.
The use of this bullpen is maddening though. Storen is obviously battling, so why does Gibbons continue to run him out. Sure, the other arms in the pen are less proven and might crack under the pressure, but Storen is doing that anyway. Floyd was great in spring training, and I know his supposed to be more of a long man, but why not trot him out there instead? The bullpen is constantly evolving anyway - just makes no sense to me.
