timothy Joined: 03/18/2020 Posts: 202 West Fargo Turtles II.1 | I'm specifically wondering if players need experience in more pressured situations. I have a relief pitcher, age 25, had a reasonably good year out of the bullpen last year, wanted to try him as my closer. Had a brilliant spring and then...yikes. Three blown saves already. http://brokenbat.org/player/198403 |

Ced Joined: 11/07/2014 Posts: 627 Denver Broncos IV.4 | "Do players need experience?" It'd be a lot cooler if they did. (Dazed and Confused inspired quote) I think clutch is a thing. Just move players around a lineup for major league 500 ABs and you'll see clear performance dodges, dips, ducks, dives and dodges. We've had players who were certain for the clean up spot, but their LOB numbers were disappointing. |
