He doesn't have great stuff so he can't make mistakes. He makes too many in key moments.

After watching the Crew's painfully anemic offense down the stretch, I'm so ready for some hitting this season.

Maybe Chris Hook can spot a thing or two and develop these guys a little bit. It's been known to happen.

Very impressive. I hope he makes it helps the team!

Frelick was drafted in 2021. Are there serious expectations that he'll be in the bigs in 2023?

He's gone in a year anyway. He hit .255 for the year, .231 in September when we really needed him. He has streaky power, and a great arm in right field. Bottom line: he's replaceable for less money. If we get lucky, maybe one of those three arms develops into needed help in the pen.

I'd like to see a new hitting coach. Find us the next Kevin Long or Chris Valaika. It's a much cheaper option that risking big dough on B+ hitters. I know hitting coaches don't usually make a difference, but good ones do make a significant difference.

His stuff is not that great, so when he makes a mistake, it's usually a doozy. And that happened too often.

Sadly, the next closest player was Yelich with .252.

What about Rosenthal? What's his contract situation?

We gott gott, as they say in The Wire.

See you guys in the spring!

One major bright light from this season!

I'm guessing he's in for one inning (to reach 200) and maybe one more and then they'll call it a day.

Thanks for the good info!
