I think it is more than a week, still, before he's truly a free agent? I expect Kepler back before that. But I'd roll the dice with Bradley over Contreras or Celestino right now.
Iiirc, that's largely because of Archer. Yes, I think there are times they could go further. But to give Verlander as an example of today's baseball?
Yesterday it was clear the starter was struggling, do people think he should have pitched another inning?
Alcala just had elbow surgery... So I have no idea your point there.
Miranda definitely has defensive issues.... And it isn't like Arraez is great at first.... Buxton has lifetime knee issues. There likely isn't anything to be done, other than live with it best he can.
