They've shown their developments aren't just some fluke. No doubt it’s been a positive year in the majors in terms of development on the field. Just have to keep everyone healthy rest of the way and make some strong moves this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be tremendous to have another reliable bullpen arm going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens all over the league. Guys can be elite one year and mediocre the next, then elite again the next. I think Marshall has deserved another shot as a middle reliever next year for sure. Part of the Sox future? Will have to wait and see. I think if anything, the bullpen is going to be the piece that changes the most often, and will be the most high-maintenced part of the team during the winning years once everything else is fairly solidified.

I get you. A bad bullpen can screw up an otherwise contending team so any and all reliable arms are important. He definitely deserves a shot to be in the mix with how he has pitched this year. Things sure can change year to year such as Politte/Cotts being unhittable in '05 to....bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) The ‘ol momentum shift coming this half inning. If the Twins are going to score, it’s now. And I could just hear Ron at home shouting at the t.v., why are they speeding up Abreu’s bat throwing all those curveballs...beforevfinally mixing in a pedestrian fastball that must have looked like 95+.

They've shown their developments aren't just some fluke. Hell, even Leury. He may not be elite, but he is definitely very good. I always thought, all he needs to do is stay healthy and he will open eyes. Well, he's done that, and he's shown what he can do. And he's kept his numbers up all year as well as play solid defense in center, as well as short in Tim's absence. Giolito as the #3 next year would be amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t happen but they could certainly afford to while still maintaining a below league average payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
