Last time we met I wrote about things that are soft.

It’s like the old game show “$10,000 Pyramid”.

“Old bananas…….pillows…….the satin fringe on an old blanket…..the skin on a newborn baby….Byung Hyun Kim”

Things that are soft. DING, DING, DING!!!

Yes you can add Kim to the list after his miserable outing Tuesday night against Florida. Did you see his body language out there? No effort. Didn’t want to be there. Gave up and checked out early.

Did you see manager Bob Melvin’s body language? After just one-third of an inning, Melvin practically sprinted to get him out of there. Watching Melvin watch Kim from the dugout, his right leg nervously bouncing up and down like a jackhammer. Enough already.

Personally I’ve set the over/under on when Kim gets released at Noon Wednesday. You taking the over or the under?

Josh Byrnes has done a very good job as GM of this team since he took over. Chris Young, Orlando Hudson, Eric Byrnes, Doug Davis, locking up Brandon Webb at a user-friendly price, etc. But picking up Kim on the waiver wire was a whiff. It doesn’t sound like they wanted any of the three players they have now, and if all three were “accidentally acquired” then that reflects on the GM.

But despite Joe Kennedy’s awful outing last night (three hit batters, two wild pitches, six runs and he just got one out), you might need him as a lefty in the pen since Doug Slaten hasn’t given you much lately.

And Jeff Cirillo’s acquisition might be blind luck as well since Chad Tracy might be headed to the Disabled List with his knee.
