    We will only be paying Melancon and Greene about 20 million next year. Good times.

    This will not continue. Hitters have been finding holes against our pen at historic rates. It's going to turn around very soon.

    We're about to find out.

    Nats and Mets are comin'.
    And you claimed Acuna was going to go 30/30 as a rookie, and promised to leave the board if he didn’t. We already saw how that turned out. Why are you so scared of the Mets? Low testosterone?

    The funny thing is that they handed the “closer role” over to Greene, then decided after about 3 games it should be Melancon. Then he blows a game immediately.

    The BP is full of non-elite arms that must be deployed properly to succeed. I have zero faith in Snit to deploy them correctly.

    Its like some people have never seen a bullpen slump before. The timing is admittedly awful, but stuff like this happens. All the time.

    The new additions have been bad but let’s not gloss over the fact everyone has been awful including Luke and Newk since the all star break.
    I think we will be ok and just as we were due to regress to the bad pre all star break, we are due to go the other way soon.
    I’m more concerned about our mangers ability to properly use the pen then the pieces in it.

    I rarely get on you, but I have to ask this and not make it about YOU. The three stooges, will they help us or we need to look at our minor leagues because these pitchers actually suck unless you saw something different. Martin has velocity but no way to command, I do not know how Greene could get saves, he is like Tomlin, actual a twin and Melancon, when he was a closer threw harder than Martin, it is not there.

    Wilson, Wright, Touisant, Anderson and Weigel throw mid 90's or higher. You think you being in the league a long time is better? No, it isn't.

    Don't be a wise ass and answer the question.

    AA is a good GM but that Melancon trade was stupid and that will be clear probably sooner than I hope. The other two trades made sense but I am afraid Greene is fools gold and the worst of the bunch. Martin looks like a good pitcher though and Melancon could be okay but not a 14 million dollar man!

    They've been insanely lucky, sure they're not elite but they're not THIS bad.

    Eventually they'll turn it around.

    of course not, no one is this bad or they'd not be in the majors.

    Travis Demeritte has a .815 OPS with Detroit so far and Allard hit 95 mph and 94 mph regularly his first start for Texas. We might end paying a higher price for a rental and Greene in trade than thought. I couldn't believe Allard could touch 95 mph again after his 88 mph to 90 mph last year. I knew he was said to be higher this year but I figured once called up the MLB guns would say more 90-91 mostly.

    His curveball and cutter were looking sharp as well.

    AA has been a good GM so far but his lack of focus on the pen in the offseason really hurt our depth moving forward. Allard at that velocity is very intriguing.

    FG has his FB average in that start at 92.9.
