    This will probably be the key. If someone that already has someone that they have to give a lot of DH ABs to (Martinez in Boston, Judge/Stanton in NY, etc.) and thinks they can get by for 2 more seasons with him playing defense a lot I could see 4 years but that's got to be pushing it if you're signing him as a full-time DH.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    No idea, but I really hope AA works his magic with ozuna. I love him in the middle of our lineup... well, assuming DH is here to stay.

    Fair.

    I just watched this game on replay. Firstly, Wright looked great. I'd love to know why the move to the 1st base side of the rubber made such a huge difference. Secondly, Melancon did not deserve that blown save. Albies could've turned two but his throw was weird. If Melancon had caught or even let the ball to him go, that would've been an out. His curveball to the next batter was a strike but called a ball. And then Hecch falling down.

    And then Freeman. Wow. Not even starting and wins the game.

    Indeed. Despite the naysayers, Melancon's been solid, if unspectacular: worth 0.2 fwar / 0.9 bwar, 4.01/4.74 fip/xfip; bad (but SSS) k/9, solid bb/9, good hr/9 (consistent with career rates), solid EVs (consistent with career rates). Again: solid, unspectacular, totally fine for the ninth, freeing up the better relievers for the real high-leverage situations.

    But last night wasn't on him. He's the sort of pitcher a team has to play defense behind, and the Braves were not playing much defense in the ninth.
    "For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
