Oh, you took a 1 game sample size as me being serious? That's on you not me. I mean, Baker looked fine, but it was 1.2 IP coming into the year, it was a tongue in cheek comment.
Cano is not a leverage reliever. His FIP is over 4, he pitched .2 innings last night and left a mess on the bases for his replacement. There are no contenders who would have him as an 8th inning guy, he's not that guy.
It's like people haven't watched the rest of the bullpen. Baker has been better than Cano since he's been back with the team, he's not devoid of all talent.
I don't have any disdain. I just think it's ridiculous that people are still calling him one of our best hitters and everything that is happening with him is just that dang old bad luck.
