Remember when the Barves and Phillies were all over him in the off-season? The Natinals even joined in at some point. Kimbrel gotta be thinking what the heck is going on.
Right now he should consider signing for $10M. The season opens in 2 weeks, he will most definitely will not be ready.
Spring training overreaction is hilarious. 80% of the guys we've seen up to date are AA/AAA and non roster invitees playing. Starters get 1-2 hacks at the plate and are replace.
It seems the difference is negligible at best between a 1-2 hitter. Both are trusted to score runs. How many less runs is Mookie going to score now he bats 2nd? Yeehhaaa when does the season begins?
