He's probably going to be cut after a miserable career, and someone will be stupid enough to give him a chance.

If form exists maybe it gets rerolled when you join a new team. Our most recent to fit the thread criteria is Riley. We had very low expectations for him, but he still came in below the bar. Seems to be a doing a little better down in VI.

He started out hitting really well and then out of nowhere, he couldn't hit anymore. He also had a hard time getting on base too. It seems he was able to do a bit better in the lower leagues.

And Shrugger is still in the lineup... So I guess he can't be THAT bad. His speed/eye combo is the only thing keeping him employed. Nate Brady is a POT 14 that will likely lose his job soon, but I never had high expectations for him. He isn't much worse than any of my other SS. And Bruce Hamel , up and coming POT 15 SS, doesn't look any better than Brady either. In many ways, its worse when you have guys who fluctuate wildly year to year. Like Ted Scanlon or Rafael Miranda. At least consistently bad is an easy cut

Not since. For 120 SI, he should be able to crack the rotation on a team that doesn't have any real good pitchers anyways. He developed fine, but just doesn't have it and is dangerously close to the chopping block. Updated Wednesday, September 23 2020 @ 6:02:52 pm PDT
