But do the pitchers like him?

If he is healthy, Martin is 100% in the rotation next year. It's a numbers game, and especially after Crochet gets dealt, who else could it be?

It could also be so much better.

Saying anything else would have been a lie

When he is healthy he produces. Man if I had a nickel for every time I heard that excuse, I could buy this franchise.

Maybe 100% would be more effective.

Waiting for his season ending surgery.

Chad Kuhl?

But remember, no one Getz got rid of mattered...

It's still the same shitty bullpen. The manager doesn't matter when everyone sucks.

Be curious how much of that is Carlos Perez.

Davis, the starting pitcher.

Nicky Lopez is a 74 OPS+ hitter. People should be talking about his offensive production, but more in terms of why he is still on a major league roster.

Stone hasn't been a good partner in a long time as an announcer. He's short, he's combative, and if he doesn't feel like it, he refuses to do his job and fill time. Gordon Beckham has been a way better partner as he is willing to fill the air when John asks questions, and tell stories when the situation dictates.

You mean the dude they have been working with all year as a starter?

Why do you assume literally no one has tried to help the teams biggest star? At the very least people's jobs are at stake, which Pedro and others learned the hard way if they didn't before. I mean there is making assumptions based on common sense, and there is making assumptions based on... well I am not sure what to be fully honest.

Again, I have no idea how to process what you are saying. I have no idea what Jason was going to do that everyone else has not, or what everyone listed has to do with it.

Jason Benetti would have fixed Luis Robert. Huh. I have literally no idea how to process this information.

And ones who can actually catch and throw a baseball on a semi-reasonable basis.

I am curious how much the back is still bothering Monty. If that is the reason he can't hit fastballs, he is a totally different prospect if he is a guy who just can't hit fastballs.
