That little blip of a 2020 season really helped JBJ.
He was at .235 (.727 OPS) in his 3 previous full seasons, before he went .283/.814 in 55 games (217 PAs) in 2020.
The deadline is AUG 2. We will be in HOU, at that time, and will have played them a game or two. (Not sure the time of the deadline. I think it's before the night games.)
We get Nate, Whitlock, Wacha and Hill back starting tomorrow and through the weekend.
We have a couple weeks to prove we should not be sellers. Right now, I'm thinking we should be.
I've not given up, but this is lower than when we were 10 and 20.
I'm loving what I'm seeing from Kutter, but let's remember, this recent period of success is only 2 plus games long.
In his first 10 games, this season he had a 6.41 ERA aND AN .835 OPS Against.
I think he needs to shine a bit longer to pencil him in as a rotation lock.
I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer: I'm all for riding the hot hand.
GO Kutter!
