    Seems like he should have been in the 7th than with a couple runners on

    His stats that year were pedestrian, and I’m hardly the first person ever to complain about how baseball writers vote. We can agree to disagree though. In general i think a lot of closers are over rated, there are some elite ones, a few more great ones and then a lot of meh ones, when you are stuck with a meh one you should look to upgrade the position. Reed has the potential to be much better than Rodney iMO. I just hope he doesn’t cost us too many more of these games.

    Baseball writers often miss the mark on those votes, it’s gotten better over the last few years because a lot of the problem voters were dying off. But don’t forget it wasn’t too long ago that colon got the Cy young over Santana.
  5. DaveW
    Yeah catcher is a position I think they need to figure out how to upgrade in the mid to long term.
  6. DaveW
    Yeah sometimes bats take a little time to come around, especially to breaking stufd

    IMO Colome wasn’t that good last year, poor K rate, poor K/BB rate, a pretty meh ERa for a RP/Closer Just goes to my point about saves being not a good stat to judge by.

    Rosario is a frustrating player to watch at times. I hope he steps up this year in a big way.

    Also besides that: not sure what Rodney did 4 years ago has to do with him now anyways, since he had one awful season, one ok and one average or below average (generous) since then. He’s 41 and the Twins have better options for closer and high leverage situation guys. He should be a 6th inning guy to start the season.

    Rodney: shouldn’t be closer or in high leverage. Wasn’t even a 1.0 WAR pitcher last year. Needs to be a middle innings guy until h proves himself at age 41. 0-1 so far this year. molitor : still makes a lot of bad decisions by not managing based on situation or deviating from his plan.

    Oh so I’m wrong and unable to make my case why a 41 year old ‘shaky at best’ Over the last few years, and a guy who had a 0.3 WAR last year isn’t the guy we should have in high leverage situations. Ok I can see you don’t value any opinions other than your own. Have fun this season Brock. I will check back in with you when Rodney inevitably fails like he did with my Mariners

    2.85 era isn’t outstanding for a closer. Also 1-6 record. He blew a lot of close games his whole tenure in Seattle. Like I said I’m a M’s fan, I saw it firsthand.
  14. DaveW
    Also if Rodney is so great, why did he throw a meatball to Jones and lose this game?
  15. DaveW
    I watched him pitch in about 40 games in 2014, it was far from outstanding.
  16. DaveW
    Reardon wasn’t a good pitcher in 1987. There is a reason why they didn’t win 90 game even in the regular season ya know....
