    Given the literal definition of wazoo, that was slightly disturbing/hilarious/I only though it was funny because I just had coffee after 3 hours of sleep.
    But the Rockies’ and Pirates’ wazoos both have some space to rent. So it’s good we have all these SP prospects, in terms of trying to get Fuentes or Marte. That said, the Rockies were seen scouting the Phillies/A’s series, which is significant because both the A’s and Phils have expressed interest in Fuentes as well.

    Kris is 23, not 25.
    Nice piece, however.

    Sounds like trade bait. I have been intrigued by Johnson since they drafted him and he was coming off an injury (that caused him to slip). But at 25 I would have no problem seeing him go as part of a package for a reliever at the deadline.

    Good point, Jared. But only if that reliever is a Street, Fuentes, Marte or that caliber.
    Johnson is well and truly blocked. Pauley pitched to his 8th win in a row last night for a 10 – 2 record. Buchholz is becoming flawless in adapting to his new regimen. Zinc has been equally incredible all season. Masterson will be pitching with Bowden at AAA soon. Colon is rehabbing at Pawtucket. Kris Johnson has ALOT of competition for the one spot behind Beckett, Daisuke, Lester, Wake; but could move more surely into MLB on a roster with less SP depth.

    Good lord, we have SP out the wazoo.

    You can never have too full of a wazoo
