So thinking about this my answer is really neither. IMO McKenna is more of a AAAA player. He was pumped for his speed and defense. The problem is his defense has been shaky at times and he’s a bat that would be exposed if he had to play regularly. As for Hays…. He’s just a solid player. Offensively, he’s just a sub .325 OBP guy. And I think we can do better with one of the guys waiting in the wings. His power doesn’t make it worth putting up a low OBP. Plus his cheap years are ending. So it gets expensive to keep him. I honestly think we should purge both. If I was pressed I’d probably keep Hays until I could add/bring up a ready LF. I see that Norby has 22 games in the OF and I’m. Hoping they determine he be an average to plus OF. -
I pretty much agree with everything you said here. -

Yeah let’s trade away Mayo and EBJ for Mason Miller. Then at the deadline we can deal Basallo, Kjerstad, and Norby, for Adam Ottavino and JD Martinez. Then we’ll have a nice little 2 year run, then everyone can cry that Rubenstein is just like Angelos, meanwhile we suck. -

They are most likely going to have injuries at some point as we move through a 162 game season. They have a lot of older players, the chances of all those guys staying healthy is quite low. And they lack the depth (similar to last season) to fill in those gaps when they occur. -

One of the problems is the broad scope of the definition. A save might be getting three outs after starting the 9th with the bases empty and a three-run lead. Which has average odds of success of something like 98%. 98% of those kind of saves are converted. If you blow that you've really done something badly. But a save may also be coming into a bases loaded situation with nobody out in the 9th with a one-run lead. You could go strikeout-flyout-strikeout on seven pitches and still get a blown save. The pitcher probably had about a 10% shot at Houdini'ing that situation. But it's still the same Boolean save or blown save. It goes back to the poor choice to make wins, losses, and saves individual stats when they're really team metrics. That inevitably leads to nonsensical attributions.
