... Working As An Usher at Fenway?

San Francisco Chronicle:
Most recently, the bullpen-depleted Red Sox were said to have inquired about [Armando] Benitez ...
He hasn't done anything since 2004, blew his share of games even when he was supposedly good, and is owed $7.6 million this season.

If Theo thinks he needs some shitty relievers who have been hurt for two years, I think he can get them cheaper than this.

If we're going to have a season of 162 games against the Royals where we lead 7-1 after eight innings, then Benitez will be the perfect closer. If we're going to play close, high-pressure games against good teams, not so much...

Imagine my reaction when I saw his name!
