Wyatt Allen released

Saw in BA this morning that Wyatt Allen was released. Former 1st round supplemental pick with a great arm who, as I understand it, couldn't quite harness his mechanics.

 

Sox should re-think this strategy of taking guys with very inconsistent deliveries, thinking they can "fix" them. The track record is not good.

Just guessing but Allen was having back problems last year and he may not have gotten fully healthy.  I don't think the Sox would have given up on him this soon otherwise.  I don't have anything to back this up, strictly a hunch.

Yes Wyatt had back problems all of last season. When Healthy he was ok not outstanding.
