Again, I don’t literally mean he shouldn’t pitch the rest of the season and that Seigler is a better pitcher than him. It’s just standard IGT embellishment. But I get that it may have came off that way over the net.
I was embellishing, I don’t literally mean he shouldn’t pitch the rest of the season. But I wouldn’t be trusting him in anything but low leverage spots for awhile.
And even though I said Contreras, Turang is probably a close second for me. He’s kind of the heartbeat of the infield and probably doesn’t get appreciated as much as he should. He’s arguably the quietest 5 WAR player you’ll ever see.
It will be interesting when he starts getting deep into his arbitration years and starts getting more pricey, if the team will look to extend him or move him and eventually replace with Made or Perez.
I actually thought Seigler looked pretty good — as far as position players go I mean, obviously. Hitting the zone consistently, but not just leaving everything out over the middle of the plate on every pitch, either.
