Sometimes I Hate Being Right

So now it looks like Dave Roberts will start the season on the DL…

Quoting Kevin Towers on Roberts’ injury, from an article on SignOnSanDiego.com, "I don't want it to be lingering for the whole season."

Yeah. Well, I don’t want Roberts lingering on the DL for the whole season.

I’ve already covered the fact that I felt Towers overspent to get Roberts. He even admits as much but says that Roberts was worth it. I’m guessing Roberts would have been non-tendered by the Red Sox and could have been had cheaply. But no, we traded a solid (not spectacular, ‘solid’) minor league pitcher, David Pauley, plus cash. Sorry, I’ll stop.

I’m working on that Kevin Goldstein interview, I’ll write more tomorrow.
