Yes, they’re very good at what they do.
Here’s a counterpoint. If the Mets truly believed that Sproat was a future high end rotation piece, why would they throw him in as a second piece for one single year of Freddy Peralta?
Those guys did show actual promise and upside before struggling. Sproat has never shown a thing other than resembling Luigi but being likely worse at pitching than him,
What a great 0-2 pitch to the #9 hitter.
Can’t wait to hear more about how this guy has ace stuff and is just a couple tweaks away from being a huge impact guy in our rotation.
I’m coming around a bit on Hamilton. Is he an everyday starter on the left side of your infield? No, probably shouldn’t be. Is a solid utility man to have on your roster? Yes.
I really hope Yoho can figure it out this time. Obviously his previous trips up have not gone well.
I don’t like to use the expression “the lights are too bright” but I wonder if that has been the case because you’re talking about a jump from 2.5 BB/9 to over a walk an inning. It’s obviously not a question of his ability or stuff.
Lara is either banged up, imminently on his way to Milwaukee or part of trade conversations. There’s zero other reason that he wouldn’t be in the lineup again.
