I agree. And I could be talked into keeping a hitter or two as well.
I think overall I am on board with Stearns' big picture plan. But I find this year's team to be one of the most frustrating teams to watch. And we've had some bad teams in recent history.
It's more than just being bad. It's that:
1. Our pitchers walk everyone. League leading 207. 16 more walks than second place. It's a stupid number of walks.
2. Which leads to a staff ranked 23rd in WHIP. Basically, tons of baserunners for the opposition.
3. On the other hand, our guys don't walk. (147th. Tied for 19th)
4. Don't really get on base (18th in MLB)
5. And aren't really good at hitting in general (23rd in OPS)
6. Also, we don't field so good (21st in Fielding %)
Overall, a very bad team.
