No Jonny Lasagna? Also, are there enough Wins and Saves for Sea to have 4 pitchers in the top 35?
2nd this, how in the world is he not in the top 100.
Loiasiga Is just an over site. I will add him. The Seattle situation is so muddled that I put them all together as dart throws.
Thanks for the work you do. Same – not arguing, just raised an eyebrow. Seems nobody really has a strong opinion on who the Sea closer is. And Casey Sadler is another Seattle reliever who quietly had very strong rate stats, although he was more of a 6th inning guy than anything else.
