i know everyone is down on ziegler and burgos/reed is supposed to be the saves guy. But since Reed got demoted on the 15th, ziegler has pitched 5 innings allowing 2 hits, no runs and K’d 7 without a walk. I get small sample size, but as everyone points these stats are produced by human beings. So, i was wondering if there is a change of heart. i, while not a Ziegler, think he could stick all year.
also, would love to hear thoughts on santana and mejia coming off suspension and whether LoMo will rate Corner value for year.
thanks. love the cast, but Paul, when Jason was on you were down on desclafani and when Eno pointed out the data you were on board. curious where you stand.
Bingo. Paul waffles quite a bit and it is very frustrating to listen to. He did it twice in this podcast alone — once on Smiley, second on Lincecum.
Seriously Paul, listen to yourself.
