The fact that neither Drew Stubbs or Chris Valaika made BA's hot sheet this week is a joke. They put up better numbers than 4 or 5 guys on that list.

Maloney has been nothing but disappointing since ST, from what I've seen.

[The Duke]

Maloney has been pretty disappointing, but he has started to up the K rates. It's a bit suprising after how good he looked after the trade last year. I'm not over with him yet, but if he doesn't come on strong at some point this year then he needs to be moved to the pen for long relief purposes.
