Merrill Kelly Fantasy Outlook For 2023
| Grey Albright Player Summary |
|---|
| As for Kelly, this tier should be broken emergency anchor glass on a yacht, because so many pitchers were so elite last year. If you’re drafting right at least, i.e., the rest of your staff (the yacht) is so good that you kinda don’t care about the broken glass, and your cabin boy can investigate and order some new glass. 'Cabin boy, you ordered shatter-proof glass. As in glass that proves it does shatter. You moron!' That’s me about to fire my cabin boy. Any hoo! Kelly’s absolutely fine, and a solid back-of-the-rotation guy. None of the guys in this tier will likely get you elected mayor of Horn Town, but hopefully their floors aren’t bad either. |
