As long as they don’t go looking for expensive mediocrities, okay. The story doesn’t mention Kerry Ligtenberg. Did something happen to him?

Kerry is no longer with the Braves.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I think Ligtenberg is about the most unappreciated reliever in the game. Career adjusted ERA+ of 142, I believe. Pitches well year after year. With Spooneybarger gone, they need to re-sign him to close when they have to put Smoltz in the rotation to replace Paul Byrd or Mike Hampton.
I just keep waiting for the season that Leo’s magic touch with has beens and never have beens will wear off. He seems to have a knack for positioning guys in the pen to be successful in a specific role. This season has the makings of a real adventure.
Yeah, Ligtenberg was non-tendered. Latest I read the Twins were looking at him.
