Since no one else will post in this thread. I think Durbin is a really good pickup.

Time will tell.

The offense is the biggest concern at this point. The bullpen has a pass in my book.

So far Durbin's 2 outings have not went well.

I did not understand this signing from the get-go. His career numbers are awful and not getting any better. I would have preferred another year of Linebrink if this is what we were going to do with our final bullpen spot. I don't understand why they didn't just give it to Flande, he was lights out in Spring and has been so far in AAA too. Plus it would have given us another lefty so we don't overuse O'Flaherty and Venters. At this point, Durbin is nothing more than a mop up guy.
