I’m not really suggesting they had to go all in for this season, they should have a huge window that actually opened earlier than they expected i think cause all these kids been so great so fast. I just think they have such a surplus of bats I dunno where they gonna have spots for? they coulda pushed a couple chips in cause this 2nd year in a row they pretty much punted. I don’t hate getting Eflin, I’m sure it bummed cardinals out cause I have no doubt they were targeting him as he very much their kinda guy, I’m not sure he a huge difference maker in playoffs but he is more than useful to not only eat innings but give ya a chance to win the game anytime he takes the mound.
3-4 years ago i liked Rogers but he has never gotten better, the walks awful but just as bad once he starts w the walks his only answer is pretty much throwing it right down the middle! He has 0 control it seems and at this point I dunno it ever happen? Whatever they gave up for him was too much! Lol
I dunno if they traded for a pen guy? That really what I thought they needed to do cause imo nobody winning a WS w Kimbrel as closer, but the other day they were up 4-0 on Boston and I took little flyer on Sox live thinking maybe they get to face Kimbrel then who knows, Sox got 1 in 8th so it was 3 run game but much to my disappointment they didn’t put Kimbrel in the 9th. Did they decide to go with someone else on team? I didn’t think they dealt for a closer? If they have another answer that doesn’t include Kimbrel in high leverage and/or closing in playoffs I’m not as mad at them, just think they really wasting a opportunity to win a ring this year if they go into playoffs w Kimbrel as closer.
