Casual fan, man. FIP busters continue to beat it by defense, trick pitches(knuckleball), and pinpoint control.(Beuhrle, Keuchel, etc...) RA9 is out there to measure these facts.
So you agree they should overhaul this team, now? Plus you're cherry picking guys age and talent between 32 and 35 is very effective, that's not right.
Surprised no-one has commented on this yet... he's played a whopping 4 innings in his career out there? Personally... I like it, the bat is too good to have on the bench, wind's blowing out and there should be plenty of bombs tonight. Or Francona looks like a mutt and a play in LF is the difference in the game... any thoughts on this?
Carlos Santana playing LF tonight.
