It's a fact that the 2 bullpens are very close statistically.
Britton might change that a bit, we'll see.
But Green and Holder have been struggling, Warren is gone, Kahnle is injured, and DRob is not what he once was.
The economic landscape is changing a bit too. It looks like the cheap young talent ain't gonna stay cheap quite as long, when you see Mookie making $10.5 million in his 4th year and 2 more arb years to go with substantial raises.
Pomeranz's ERA actually did get better his last start. He's only pitched 46.2 innings.
At the end of May, Brian Johnson's ERA was 5.33 and he was looking a little toasty himself.
But the team stuck with him and it has paid off.
The bottom line is, the team always has more patience and more informed decision-making than the fans. I trust them to do the right thing.
Kinsler actually has borderline HOF numbers in terms of WAR. He showed why last night. He hits the ball all over the place, he's got some pop, and his defense is stellar. That second big play he made last night was unreal.
Cashman has made some great moves, and he's also made some very questionable ones IMO. You wonder sometimes if he gets a little too clever for his own good.
