In 2017 ottavino was no prize. In 2018 he was lights out.
Who is the real ottavino?
I think some between Feltman, lakins, Hernandez or houck ( our future closer) pop next year, which will make our bullpen will be fine and younger.
Mookie broke in and had a great year when Ortiz was in the lineup,
Next year Ortiz is retired. Betts is left unprotected and has a miserable year.
Next season enter Martinez and Betts has a great year.
Martinez to return in 2019, so Mookie should continue to be great.
I had no problem with the Sox taking a gamble on ball. I have watched ball pitch live several times and in my opinion, when he has command and control, he has Major league caliber stuff.
Unfortunately command and control only shows up for him once every 15 times he takes the mound.
So mlb network has their top 10 right now.
It appears that we while we won 108 games last year, we will not have anybody on the lists for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and catcher!
Kind of amazing
Once we resign kimbrel and add a replacement for Kelly (ottavino?) our bullpen is not looking that bad.
Ps: Feltman, lakins and Hernandez could all arrive this year as well!
This is a really good signing for the Yankees.
I thought in the second half of the season he really started to put it together and pitch like he did with the orioles.
Hard to imagine. Remember despite having kimbrel, desperate Dave kept acquiring sore armed relievers, aka smith and Thornburg.
I suspect desperate Dave knows he needs more relievers and I have no doubt he will bring more in before spring training.
