The easiest way to keep a closer from getting overworked is to not use him every time there’s a three run save situation. But I think the CBA must require it now.
For everyone saying Kremer is staying in the rotation....the first 4 starters are clearly Burnes, Bradish, Grod, Means. I suppose you can pick Kremer over Irvin for #5, but Irvin not a bad #5 if you want to move Kremer to the back end, where his stuff would play very nicely IMO.
You would think when Hays comes up, McKenna will go back down, but I think it will be Kjerstad. Otherwise, why would we see things like O'Hearn in RF that we should never see.
I'm not sure what role McKenna fills with a healthy Hays and Mateo on the team. Hays is a better fielder and Mateo is a better pinch runner/base stealer. I wish we saw more of Mateo in CF. I feel like Mateo could be an adequate back up CF, but he's had little chance to prove himself.
