Romo closed out a World Series and has 84 career saves. Joe Smith was the 8th inning guy for the Angels last year and he filled in well when Street was out. Paplebon's attitude is worse than his arm.
-
People are allowed to have whatever opinion they think to be true. It's unfair to expect everyone else to look at something the exact same way you do.
-
Again, you can't sign everyone. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017-mlb-free-agent-tracker/positions-rp There are still a few guys with closing experience available (Holland, Papelbon, Joe Smith, Sergio Romo) that could be better than Storen.
-
Drew Storen is ok, but I'm not sure the upside is there. He's a guy you get to fill out your bullpen and I'm not sure he's better than what we have now. You can't sign everyone.
-
inappropriate!
-
If he looks good in ST, you keep him and cross your fingers and toes.
-
It never works out that way, unfortunately.
-
Bertrand, LOL...
-
But you can say "he has sucked so far." You just can't say he'll always suck.
-
55 games in 2014 is a larger sample size than 57 in 2016. Now that's some fuzzy math.
-
You can make definitive judgements on past performance as that book is closed. If a guy goes 0-25 in the World Series, you can't say "well we don't definitively know how his WS was." Yes, we do. It sucked.
-
I made a definitive judgement about his 2016 performance. It was not very good. I didn't make any judgements about his future performance aside from saying he needs to be better. His defense wasn't great. Plain and simple. I provided statstical analysis to back up my feelings.
-
Is Kimbrel's wildness because of Leon's difficulty catching the heat or is Leon's difficulty catching the heat due to Kimbrel's wildness?
-
SP depth should always be a concern. I hope Owens can be a little more reliable this year.
-
Sure he has the upside, but he needs to show it for it to be real.
-
I think you're being too charitable to CV. He was a worse pitch framer than Evan Gattis last year and had a lower CS%. Sandy Leon had a better DWAR even when factoring in the additional games and also had a lower CS%. Sandy's CERA was also .40 less when receiving the same pitchers as CV.
-
To me, an 0-20 streak is barely a blip on the radar. That's just a 4-5 game sample. I don't consider streaks to be anything of note until the batter is about two weeks in. I would agree that randomness would cause a bad homestand. However, it's more likely due to something else once you're 10 games in.
-
I think luck is the smallest part of the equation. If a guy is squaring up the ball and hitting line drives, he's more likely to get on a hot streak or pull himself out of a cold one.
-
If CV was as good behind the plate as we hoped he'd be, I don't think there'd be much discussion on who the starting C would be. Right now though, his defense has taken a step back AND he can't really hit. He has a long way to go before he can be a premier C.
-
Yeah, at this point, I'd be more interested in finding ways to strengthen the bench and options at AAA than going for a big signing. If Bautista was 3 years younger, I'd jump at him though.
-
Not that I take a huge stock in clubhouse stuff, but a lot of MLB guys hate Joey Bats.
-
Their stadium will still be half empty all year.
-
So 2013 was still Theo's team then? Without a WS, Ben looks even worse!
-
Because of interleague play didn't exist in 1994 and the internet was still in its infancy. We have a lot more information at our fingertips these days rather than just the daily boxscore.
-
He was pretty damn good in 95 and 96 too.
