Meh
We have Chapman
Interesting that Nick Pivetta is still unsigned
I hate to break it to you but Aroldis Chapman stinks and if they brought him here to close, it’s going to get ugly pretty fast when he comes in with a 1-run lead, walks the first two batters and surrenders a bomb on a straight-as-an-arrow 101 MPH pitch to the 3rd batter.
Kenley Jansen was better than I expected him to be in Boston (he was actually a little better in year 2 than in year 1) but he was a commodity those Sox didn’t really need. I assumed they’d acquired him as trade bait for prospects but they kept him each year.
He is definitely worth $10 million for one year so I am surprised to see him leave for that contract. Especially considering the Sox are ahead of the Angels in terms of their rebuild (at least in my opinion).
You’re not breaking anything I don’t already know. A lot of times a new team is what a player needs. The pressure the Yankees franchise and fans have on players is tremendous. He went to the royals and was solid there as well. Last couple years he went down a bit for sure. But fuck he was with the pirates. Anyone would suck there.
Look at Chris sale??? He was constant hurt for us, and when he was here he was a shell of his former self. Then he goes to Atlanta and wins the NFL CY Young.
I’m not going to get into this to much with you. I have argued this for too many hours with other people
I will say the same to you as I do others. Just wait and see. He will prove you and a lot of other people wrong this year. He will close for us and he will be good.
Kenley also blew a lot of saves and created stress. Hos ERA was almost identical to what Chapman’s was last year.
