I was surprised when I saw Richmond pitch a week or so ago that he actually has the stuff to back up his numbers. His FB sits into the 90s and his breaking balls are tough. And he's a real pitcher.

I'm glad to hear you say that. I haven't watched him pitch yet. I picked him up this offseason but had to drop him for roster space. I'm glad I was able to pick him back up.

His name?

Jorge Cantu.

And he's on the trading block.
