He who speaks ill of the horse, will buy him

I guess Bobby Cox isn't getting Kris Benson:

"You hear a lot of rumors about him going to other places, and you can see why," Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said after watching Benson stifle his team Wednesday night. "Scouts seeing him [Wednesday night] would have liked him an awful lot." Benson allowed five hits in eight innings against the Braves. "He throws strikes and attacks hitters," Atlanta catcher Johnny Estrada said. "He's got a live fastball and a good slider, and he pitches inside a lot. And he kind of 'short-arms' the ball. A lot of guys were coming back to the dugout saying they were having trouble picking the ball up."

That's from Paul Meyer's notebook. Speaking of Paul Meyer, I think I missed his Q&A this week. We'll catch up with it next week. Those things are great.
