Glad he had a great April, but he's done nothing for a week. Hopefully, he gets back on track sooner rather than later. -

Ideally you'd have someone with knockout stuff (like Bautista or Holmes) as your closer. But if you don't have that, you at least need someone with decent stuff who isn't fazed by pitching in the 9th inning. Cano, for instance, probably has the best talent in the bullpen but it seems he is better in the 7th and 8th innings for whatever reason. Kimbrell no longer has top-end stuff but at least you don't have to worry about his mental makeup (as long as his latest struggles are a physical issue as opposed to the early stages of Steve Blass disease). Webb's performance this week opened my eyes both as to the quality of his stuff and his makeup. I'm guessing those were the highest-leverage innings he has ever thrown in the major leagues, and he rose to the occasion. -
I know they are becoming a meme because everyone thinks they are old and over-priced and Stanton fits that bill. They still have a top offense in baseball and they pitch better than anyone but the Red Sox. I'm not going to suggest they are a one month wonder.

My takeaway is the contrast between a young team versus an aging team. Judge, Stanton, Rizzo, Rodon, Stroman, Cole are on the wrong side of 30 and more likely to decline (or be injured) over the course of the year. -
