Still a fun year.

 

Elly has some work to do on his pitch selection.

 

We still have alot of work to address the pitching in the offseason.

Most exciting season for me in  many years.

Winning record with rooks was amazing...

 

Lots of moves in the cards for Nick Krall off-season..

Joey said he wants one more year.

 

Not sure if he'd be willing to restructure his team option.

I  think the ownerrship  would prefer

to release him and save 13 mil.

That would free up salary to acquire better relievers.

His popularity with fans may keep him here.

Glad to see him  promoted to in charge of  baseball operations ..

 

Dont know much about the new GM but I'd imagine any moves he wants to make goes thru Krall.

Looking bright for 24...

Got to get another guy in the rotation, we we're too dependent on Lodolo coming back then when Ashcraft got hurt it was all but over

There's reports of them wanting to acquire another RH bat in the OF..

I'm with you on another solid starter .

The starting staff for 24 .

 

RH .Hunter Green...

LH..Andrew Abbott..

RH..Graham Ashcroft

LH..Brandon Williamson

LH..Nick Lodolo

 

That's a promising group for a run at the playoffs..

 

Add a solid  starter to the group and they'll have a staff to overcome injuries thruout the season to make the playoffs

 

Bullpen has to rid themselves of any relievers with a  4 plus  ERA to get thru the 6th inn and beyond.to not blow leads 

 

In Krall ..I trust..

The days of a 6-8 inning starter is gone

 

5 inning is the standard.

Bullpen have to be stocked with quality relief more than ever.

 

Starters with a 4,40  ERA and   relievers with 3.3 ERAs  are in high demand now..

 

Batting averages have dropped 10 points but the power is still up.

 

A 290 hitter is considered a 300 ave from the past..

 

I add 10 points per average to equate hitters from few yrs ago.

 

They don't have the luxury of facing a starter 3 or more times .

They face different pitchers inning to ininng now.

 

Different from games yrs ago but more exciting more than ever imo.
