Well, we know how this goes

As that great earlier post shows, he doesn’t throw enough pitches just off the plate. We all saw that when he missed the zone, it was by a ridiculous amount. No one will swing at a breaking ball that bounces before the plate, no matter how much spin it has.

My first thought as well. Also on a side note, I love how Katz told Giolito he’s going to have the pitchers throw hard and throw their best pitches more.

Rosenthal confirms in his notes column today the Astros are interested in Hendriks. They tried to sign him and Treinen, so they obviously are looking to spend on the pen.

I don’t recall Robert dropping anything in playoffs

I’d prefer they don’t sign Hand also

Never thought they were a legit threat. The threats in order are Jays, Astros and Mets.

Treinen back to Dodgers. They’re out on Hendriks almost definitely

He had similar base running issues in the minors as well. Also I noticed today that he seemed to say he struggled playing deep due to the shift. As we saw, he acted like he never saw a ball hit the lip before. Hopefully he takes hundreds of ground balls this offseason as if he’s back in the shift for a lefty. We should see huge improvements there.

It was who Tony would view him as

He would never agree to an extension coming off that 2020 season

I’m more concerned with the lack of burst on the bases. I don’t think he’s going to be an awful base runner, but it doesn’t seem like he’s going to be a plus-plus base runner like advertised. Same goes with the defense, and that’s why his value to me is a lot lower than some on here have for him.

I think it’s more he’s far and away the most expendable of the major league core guys, and that someone like Wong or C. Hernandez would give you similar if not greater production.

Eckstein 2.0

No idea what you’re talking about

Cruz to Padres would just be unfair. Wonder if Twins go after Schwarber.

Yep I explicitly state I’m rooting against him. Meanwhile you’re a ball of sunshine regarding this organization.

Runs into outs you mean but seriously, how about he shows he can field and run effectively before we say they’re strengths

The bad news continues this offseason

Chris Cotillo tweeted that he heard Astros are heavily involved with Hendriks

Why do people still follow that guy?

Yep and if Sox fans are bored, can you imagine a fan base like the Brewers that haven’t done a single thing?

There really isn’t a house, Dave Wilder made it up

It was pretty prominent in articles a few weeks ago saying Toronto would be interested in Hendriks

If closer isn’t important, why did you suggest Grandal for Hader?
