Looks like K Culpeper is the real deal. Small sample size sure, but he looks like he can really hit. Keirsey has gotten the shaft all year, he's done everything you're supposed to do to get a call up. I know Margot hits lefties well, but he's an absolute butcher in the field and he's going to be gone next year. Should have called up Keirsey earlier in the year to see if he could outperform Margot for the stretch run. But, we were paying Margot and God knows we can't have any sunk costs on this team, even at the expense of performance.
