I'm not sure what's going to happen with Kimbrel, but adding Newk and Touki/Wilson to the BP, which is where they most likely fit long term anyways, will go a long ways towards improving that unit.Originally Posted by Slippyjms
When the rotation is Folty, Gaus, Soroka, Julio and Fried in the next week or so, and Wright, Tomlin, and Wilson/Touki are still around for SP depth, it will be a good time to transition some of the non-elite young SPs to the BP where they ultimately belong.
If not for the rash of injuries it probably would have happened already. It needs to happen sooner rather than later.
I agree with you Dr. Scheff. Please not making fun of you. I actually like you.
Add Kimbrel, 13/39.
I don't know if it is enough, but that is what he deserves.
He lost some games for Boston in high intense situations. We don't need that right now. I still have come confidence in our pitching coach, but they are still pitching scared. When almost everyone in your bullpen throws 96 to 99 and have some secondary pitch, he is not teaching them right when they walk everyone.
A lot of teams have our hard throwers and don't have this issue. QUIT EFFING WALKING PEOPLE. They in end bite you in the butt as you have learned. CHALLENGE THEM. They hit it out of the park, so be it, just don't walk people in front of them.
Fried's FA velocity was down more than 1 mph from his previous 2 starts. Something worth monitoring.
