Pitchers generally get worse the third time through the order. Breslow has decided that the bullpen would be more effective in those situations. Maybe getting their doors blown off by the Yankees this year will change that determination next time?
I think Roman is frustrated with his health.
Willson's hot/cold energy is frustrated with losing.
Gray is outta here.
I think the push/pull with analytics is harder on the older players. As they phase out of the game, we'll probably stop hearing players complain about it as all the younger guys have been raised on it.
I wouldn't want 9 Durbins, but I wouldn't want 9 Willson's either. I think you need a mix of guys that compliment each other. Right now, the team is tilted too far one way and needs to be fixed.
