Pretty abysmal 2nd half... 19-32.

Here's a few bright spots though:

Swanson (since call back) = .347/.448/.472, 16.1 bb%, 14.9 k%, 144 wRC+, 0.8 fWAR over 22 games = 5.9 pace over 162 games

Albies = .287/.355/.463, 9.1 bb%, 15.7 k%, 113 wRC+, 0.8 fWAR over 30 games = 4.9 over 162 games

I doubt both put that high of a WAR next season, but I definetely see 3 from each


Newcomb with 9.42 k/9. Pretty impressive... unfortunately the bb rate of 5.33 per 9 is bad. Really need a good pitching coach to work with him bc the stuff is there.

Teheran seems to be righting the ship some. Last 4 starts (Rockies x2, phillies, and reds)...
27.0 ip 22 h 7 er 7 bb 27 k

Really need folty, Teheran, and Newcomb to finish well.

Fried has his starting debut today vs cubs. Hopefully he does well... we really need starters to emerge.

Swanson, Albies, FF, inciarte, and acuna are a solid base of position players to build around going into next season
