I like Kimbrel a lot. But his tenure with us was perfect. We won the ring, he was OK at best in the postseason, didn't blow any saves, but demonstrated pretty conclusively that there's no need to spend big to bring him back.
Well, one thing is clear, we need to keep Nunez from reaching that PA bonus LOL
So what about Eovaldi and the need for a RH starter. Does DD make him a serious offer? If not Eovaldi what other RH starter might he target?
I think we made the Dodgers look bad more so than they WERE bad.
We didn't beat them much worse than we beat the Astros (marginally), and going into the playoffs the Astros were considered to be a very tough opponent.
Depends on how 'small' and 'meaningful' are defined.
David Price pitched 26 innings in the postseason. That's about 15% of his regular season total of 176.
If his 26 postseason innings were pitched at a level of 8 fWAR, that would be an additional fWAR of about 1.2, or 9 million dollars of value.
