eh. He's a bit older and was pretty bad last year and has been looking pretty crappy this year.

I'm looking at him to get Schlitter sent back to Iowa.

 

If the Cubs signed Soriano 5 minutes from now, Wada or Grimm will do that before he will.

Balfour does appear to be toast, unfortunately. His velocity in 2013, his last good season, was sitting around 93.3. It was 91.6 last year. It's 89.7 this year so far.

Balfour missed some of spring training this year due a death in the family which might have affected his velocity out of the gate.
