Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 3100867, member: 966"] Well. I’m shocked. Season would have been drastically different with an expected performance from Sale and Eovaldi. The one criticism I have is that they trusted far too much in the bullpen and we lost a significant number of games by the closer/s. I would suggest that kimbrel would have made the difference in getting us into the wild card, with the thought that his issues in Chicago wouldn’t have arisen with a normal preseason/training camp, etc, but with the Sale freak year, who could know. Yeah, we are saddled with lux tax issues, and I guess ownership wants to find a Rays-like system for competitiveness at a lower price? If you can do that with pitching and add the higher priced offense we are used to, that seems like an ideal sitch. But, obviously, it ain’t that easy... I’m going to be sad if Mookie signs elsewhere. I don’t think there’s a better place for him, and it will suck out loud if we get outbid. [/QUOTE]
