i just watched ten minutes of the Tigers broadcast...
Anyone who makes a bad comment about Benetti has a mandatory Tigers broadcast to watch for punishment.
This is just it...he can either be starter or 2-3 inning high leverage guy since his innings are down because of this injury. Honestly...this was the best thing that could have happened with Kopech. And if cease and rodon keep to form...kopech may not have a rotation spot like we all assumed. Him being in that swing role is exactly what made the Dodgers win it all last year. He may be the righty piece they need after all.
So exciting to see them respond this way after more tragic news. If they can keep this going...this starts to feel like one of those 30 for 30 type of stories...oh wait, ESPN hates the Sox.
Adam Frazier, Ketel Marte or bust. Seriously. fuck, if this team makes the playoffs they are destined to win it all at this point. this is why going all in matters. no guarantee's going forward with anyone.
It's Marte if you really want to go for it or Frazier if you want to go for best fit that wont break the prospects. It will be an overpay...but with the Yankees scuffling a bit and TB really the only threat....you have to go for it this season with the way the Starting pitching is going. I don't care if it costs Crochet +. This season is realistically the best chance, especially if Cole is a guaranteed ball doctoring doofus.
