The construction of the pen is on management. Yes, Bongos' use of the pen can leave something to be desired, but it's not like he's got some tremendous weapons that he's misusing.
Leafs dump Mrazek off on Chicago, with no salary retention, plus the 25th pick.... For the 38th pick.
So they get out from under Mrazek and just have to move down 13 spots in a s*** draft?
Niiiiice.
If a random Yankee fan stumbled onto the board he'd probably be amused that the Yankees are so in Jays fans heads that they have their own thread on our board.
Why do they still have to "fake" injuries (i.e. Phantom IL). The world in general (at least in North America) has really embraced Mental Health as a real and serious issue. Is it only issues like clinically diagnosed anxiety or depression that get legit attention? If Kikuchi is going through something that is deemed mental, and he isn't fit to perform, why can't he have a stint on the IL for 'Mental Health' so he can work through some of those psychological issues? A blister or a sprain are physical, I get it. But none of us are really going to be performing at peak abilities unless our minds are in tune as well...same as a tweaked back. Or are we not there yet, to view it as IL worthy?
Lots of underperforming this season. Unless you believe that Teo, Vladdy, Bo, Gurriel, Chapman, Berrios, etc are not as good as they've shown in the past and this is their new norm.
