He's playing half his games at DH......he's one of the best hitting catchers in the game, and they aren't taking advantage of that advantage half the games.
I'm old enough to remember when this was a thread about SWR....
He was between ok and good today. If he gives up 2-3 runs per start, that's more than good enough for me for a 23 year old in his rookie campaign. More than good enough.
I don't know what NE should do, but if I'm them, I trade back for sure and get more picks. Fix the OL and WR and take Penix or Nix in the 2nd round and see what happens. Maybe even Rattler in round 3 instead......
Not a great start, not a bad start. If he did that 2/3 of the time, I'd be pretty pleased in year 1 of his play. Maybe even half the time. Give them a shot to win half your starts as a rookie? I'm ok with that.
Now, the O? Ummmmm. Sigh.
