Sweet. This is EXACTLY what this lineup should be doing to scrubs like this. Papi up with the bases loaded, and now the O's pen is looking for mop-up duty. After the starter getting 4 outs.
I had the same realizations as you when I saw that page. If there was one category in which I would never have thought King Felix would have Doc beat, it would be IP. Well, he does. The "lol" I posted was completely necessary in that case.
For me, it's all a matter of how his hip is. I like the guy, but if his health causes problems for the team I don't want that to get in the way. If he's feeling alright, leave him in.
And right on cue, here he comes! 4-0 Sox.
I know I know. I'm just saying that I don't think he was referring to the veterans, but to the other younger players on the big club. Whether or not Seattle is looking for those type of players in another thing. You can still be willing to trade some valuable pieces to your team without knowing whether or not the other team wants them.
For what it's worth, I'm on the same page as you are.
