Yeah, wonderful pick-up...

It was the 2nd inning of tonight's game, the Dbacks had just scored four runs in the bottom of the 1st to take a 4-2 lead, and Mark Grace and Darren Sutton were talking about how they were glad the Dbacks had picked up BK Kim, who was pitching for the Dbacks. I say WAS pitching, because it is now the 3rd inning, and BK Kim was yanked after allowing two more runs and loading the bases while getting just one out in the 3rd.

Am i the only one who saw they picked up BK Kim and went huh? This is the same guy who started the year with the Rockies, was traded to the Marlins, was then dropped by the Marlins, and who has a 4.61 ERA for the year? This was supposed to be a good move? And we sent Yusmeiro Petit to AAA for him? Petit, who had a 4.21 ERA and had pitched pretty well while he had been up?

Count me among the unimpressed with the BK Kim pickup, and among the ones worried that this is going to be our fifth starter during the stretch run. Especially when he lasts only 2 1/3 innings and gives up 5 runs in his first start. Fantastic...

It's hard for me to believe Mark Grace said Kim was a good pickup. That guy needs to bring a gas can and a match to the mound. That way we all will know what comes next.

It was hard for me to believe as well, I almost choked on my food when he said it...
