BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2008-12-11 14:00:00Any thoughts on the Rule 5 Draft in general? Surprises?
(Ben F from California)		I like the Mets adding Darren O'Day and Rocky Cherry to possibly flesh out the bullpen. That was a good move at a low price. (John Perrotto)
2008-12-11 14:00:00Did the Orioles make any attempts to fix the situation at SS? You think they'll miss Rocky?
(Corkedbat from Dallas)		They are on the verge of signing Cesar Izturis to play shortstop. While I love his name, I don't think Rocky Cherry will be missed. (John Perrotto)
