@redsoxstats Last year 39% of swings at Joe Kelly's sliders were whiffs, excellent! However, when not missed, was crushed.

The sunk cost of his contract is irrelevant to his usefulness on the roster. I'm not sure sending him to Pawtucket will make him a better player or make him more tradeable.
I think he has the info, but is generally slow to react. He's not known as a good in game manager. Even his buddy Schilling thinks it's not something he's great at.
Right and instead of saying "maybe we should put them in dresses" the manager should have explained the new rules to the team in ST. The Jays are completely at fault for losing this game. I have no sympathy for it. If Pedroia did the same thing, I'd double my efforts to tell everyone he needs to be traded.
So the part where Bautista reaches out his hand to intentionally grab the IF's leg isn't wrong? Did you feel the same way when ARod slapped the ball out of Arroyo's glove?
