Yes I did and it’s crazy he’s been doing the opposite. I can’t believe any pitching coach in this day and age could be so stupid and yet Lopez continues to go all-in on the four seamer.
I know it’s only been two games, but if the Rays are able to turn Glasnow into a stud pitcher and we can’t even turn one of Rodon, Giolito, & Lopez into a reliable mid-rotation starter then god help us all.
I would just do if for the Sox and see how the numbers shake our first. You can probably use the $8M/WAR as the starting point for a comparison and go from there. My guess is it will be so ugly that seeing how other teams have done won’t be necessary.
I think you’re right on the CF angle, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Robert & Walker in the same OF for a short period of time before Robert gets a bump.
The reality is our front office has to deal with Jerry’s limitations and therefore should not be out there swinging their dick around all offseason like they’re going to land a big fish when they’re not even able to make a make what most would deem a market-level offer. That to me is the biggest offense and proof these guys are beyond incompetent.
