I’m not minding it. It’s a nice change, wouldn’t want to watch every game like this. Sometimes I’ll even turn into the other team’s feed to switch it up.
Frasso will be a bullpen guy if he can stay healthy. It's obvious neither team thinks he'll cut it as a starter. In his 12th start of the year he went a whole 2.2 innings.
Yankees should be panicking. Since July 9th they are 10-18. That's good for a .357 win%. The Nationals are the only team with a win% lower than that for the year.
Maybe working with him over the offseason will help. There's an above average pitcher in there. Even since he's came back from the short minors visit, his 3 starts has been his 3 lowest average exit velocities this year.
Free agents always tend to get overpaid, how many from just this past offseason already look to be an overpay? Bryant, Semien, Story, Baez, Castellanos.
The Springer contract is looking better than all of those.
Sometimes their risks pay off. Gausman is looking good, and showing his 2021 is sustainable. Gausman > Ray
I've found there hasn't been any brutal contracts yet. Ryu is disappointing, especially after the cy young caliber first year. Springer is a break even for me. Jury is out on Berrios, hopefully this year is just a blip. Certainly no Anthony Rendon type deals.
These sub-ideal contracts happen with every team. AA/Braves have had some bad contracts recently as well. Marcell Ozuna and Eddie Rosario.
Kikutchi is looking to be the worst decision so far. Maybe he's a bullpen candidate? Atleast his last 2 years are the cheaper ones.
Depends what Gurriel does next year. I could see him putting up a QO quality year. Not sure where his power has gone, but he hit at a >30HR/162G pace from 2018-2020. He's improved hit K% every year.
Merrifield was extremely cold to begin the year. Since mid-May he’s been his regular 3WAR self.
He’s been worth 3 WAR the previous 5 seasons. (Extrapolating the short season). He’ll be able to help this team. Especially with his versatility.
