Who really knows if he was signed with being a SS or 2B in mind - Bogey was SS in 2022 and Mayer is coming soon - Story may not play much SS for us. I just hope he plays period.
Yep. You can have fun with numbers all you like, but the only ones that really matter are that we're 28-25 and 3 games back of the last Wild Card spot.
Bello 4.08
Sale 4.72
Houck 4.99
Whitlock 5.14
Paxton 5.14
Now who's silly?
I realize these guys have a good shot on improving those numbers, but I wouldn't get high and mighty about others being silly by talking about Kluber.
Nice volley of rhetorical questions.
Obviously the concern is that Kluber has to make multiple more starts and continues to allow 6 runs per 9 innings. Of course they would probably DFA him, but that doesn't really make it a win.
IMHO pinch-hitting with Reyes in the 4th inning last night shows what a good manager Cora is. It turned out to be key to the game. He has a good sense of when to be aggressive.
You're being a bit selective, considering that Kluber threw a grand total of 116 innings for the years 2019-2021. If we only use 2022, Carlos Rodon has no injury concerns either.
The only kind of major league pitcher I ever wanted to take some swings against was a knuckleballer like Wakefield. I realize he would make me look like an idiot, but at least I would have a chance of hitting the ball if I got really lucky.
