Now do xFIP. He’s not as bad as you think, he’s been extremely bad with the long ball though which has led to a bloated ERA.
I agree though that I’d prefer someone a bit more reliable at this point because he’s be very jekyll/hyde these last couple months.
Funny that Bednar has turned it around so much that his numbers look elite again. Dude looked toast and was literally sent down to AAA. Devin Williams would have been murdered by Yankees fans in the streets a couple months back.
Relievers are so volatile, and even the “elite” ones can look bad time to time. Not saying Hoffman is elite but he’s shown flashes of being that. And im sure 29 other teams would gladly take him as a late-inning option.
