I didn’t remember these reactions, because I didn’t participate in this thread. I thought the move by Bloom was out of character, and not a particularly good move at that. I had stated prior to the 20121 season that I thought that Barnes was 2 years past his expiration date. It looks like the group of Bloomies who posted in this thread were misguided in their optimism about the move. This was not a bargain, and to mention Barnes in the same sentence as Kimbrel is close to blasphemy.
