You go from Tanner Scott becoming he goes from being the high leverage guy and your closer and he stunk at it.
And then you say, OK, we're not going to put you in the super high pressure situation.
We'll bring in Edwin Diaz, the best closer in baseball to be your closer.
That, in turn, puts Tanner Scott back in the seventh or eighth inning.
You still got Blake Trine, and you still got Alex Vessia.
Their bullpen just has a ton of names.
I think Evan Phillips re-signed there, so he was solid.
You still got him.
And then they're always producing guys for their farm system.
It's crazy.
They get the guy James Tibbs from the Red Sox in that trade, and he's raking in spring training, and people are already like, oh, Dustin May for James Tibbs is terrible.
So they got that going on.
And then I just think...
A full season of Shohei Otani at the top of that rotation, if he's anything like he was during his time with the Angels when he was pitching and hitting, because last year it was kind of like a weird thing.
He came back.
What was it like the second half of the year?
So you got him at the top end of rotation.
You got Yamamoto, who obviously finished was at second or third in the Cy Young.
Blake Snell was a little delayed, so he's not back yet.
But you still got Tyler Glass now.
