| Grey Albright Player Summary |
|---|
| His strikeout numbers took a major nosedive last year (from 9 to 7.3 K/9), and it looks like it’s mostly a case of his command is still excellent (1.6 BB/9) but he is just not getting swings and misses anymore. Nicest thing I can say is maybe he’s just not getting swings and misses but he is eliciting weak contact, but the nicest thing I can say might want to take it easy on being so nice because his HR/9 of 1.9 is incredibly worrisome if that’s the route you’re taking with his numbers or just being nice. Stop being nice, Grey! Shota’s a freakin’ mess! It could be true, and I think we let someone else take a chance. |
