Milbrandt ate up AA and has 2 great AAA starts. Better franchises than us jump 22 or younger pitchers when they are short handed. Worked out last year for Yesavage.
Time to give Pauley another shot? Still the best glove at 3rd
1. It was a worthwhile experiment - No it wasn't. This idea was a prayer from day 1.
2. A case could be made that bad luck with other players has played a part.
Kemp Alderman was playing out of position. Bad idea. Not bad luck, especially when we need right handed outfield help
3. Ramirez Miami's breakout catcher with the bat of an All-Star - for about 2 weeks. Below average after that
Sorry, but a good starter, that we really need, is a lot more valuable than a non-closing reliever. Personally, I would have tried him as closer instead of spending 13m on Fairbanks, but that boat sailed.
We have 3 strong hitters, plus Marsee rising. None are Judge, Schwarber or Ohtani. who can carry a team by themselves.
Berry and Alderman deserve a shot soon, if Stowers and Norby stay the path. Conine is on the way back.
Mediocre? You are too nice. We have 3 good hitters. 3 good pitchers and 4 good bullpen arms.
I do like Mack. Alderman and Berry should get a crack at the corners.
Bendix should be run out of town
The Bendix file:
OUT :Cabrera 3.88 era Weathers 3.00 era TJ .860 ops
In: Caissee - Fairbanks - Lewis - Morel - Paddock
Ramirez for Jazz
There is 1 Marlin that definitely needs to go and he can take McCullough with him
