Does Bloom get to include Bello, Casas, Crawford, Devers, Duran and Houck on his resume when he had nothing to do with acquiring them? That's not usually how we play HOBO vs. HOBO here.
I think that's a bit of an overstatement. It's not like he falls off a cliff. Seems like pretty typical variances.

It's preposterous to blame Cora for Kluber or Pivetta sucking. The one criticism that has merit is sticking with Kike too long at SS. But even that was a situation not created by Cora, and it wasn't totally unreasonable to think that a good second baseman like Kike could play SS.
It's not a big deal to me one way or the other, just jabbering. But it's nice to see a guy like that do well two years in a row. And he got an extension out of it.
