Almost a good day

I was going to say that today was one of the better days of the offseason. As the report goes, Burnett and Van Benschoten threw well yesterday and felt great, Duffy is showing no remaining ill effects from his torn hammy, Jody Gerut took BP without his knee brace, and Castillo said he felt good, though he didn't actually show up at minicamp like he said he would. Of course Bautista was hurt, but it doesn't appear to be that bad (though things are usually worse than first glance when it comes to the Pirates).

Then I took a look at Rotoworld and saw that we were negotiating with Jose Lima. I can't even put into words what a bad idea this is. Sheesh, we can't even have one good day, can we?
