    I’d like to wait till June but we could be so far back bc of the bullpen at that point that we wouldn’t need him. Our bullpen needs help and soon. The division is to strong to hold steady.

    Any previous value analysis done by the FO took into account the improvement Kimbrel would have made over a BP that included Viz. Now that Viz is gone, the value of adding Kimbrel has increased.

    Maybe it's increased enough to bridge the gap between the offer and the demand.

    It's safe to say a BP that consists of Minter plus a bunch of random arms isn't good enough.

    There is plenty of work to do in the pen that allows the team to wait until June for CK. Keep the pick

    I do think Newk could be very affective out of the pen. Different mentality might help him.

    The thing is that Kimbrel may not be available in June.

    I understand why people would think Newk would be a good BP option considering he has good stuff but I thought the biggest attribute someone has to have is the ability to throw strikes??

    idk, plenty of guys who couldn't find the zone as starters become relievers.

    And he's a damn good one too. I'd love to find a way to grab Bradley and Peralta, price be damned.
