eyre & howry

[RichHillIsABeast]

Oh and who says you can't throw a bunch of arms together to make a good bullpen? The Cubs went out and spent big money on Eyre and Howry. The Cards gave bullpen roles to Wainright, Thompson and Hancock. The best pens in the ML were full of cheap failed starters.

 

But to be fair, Howry/Eyre performed admirably especially for their contracts.

 

Eyre wasn't good, and he was terrible for his contract.

 

You're looking at overall numbers. Eyre was pretty darn good until August when his physical fitness caught up with him. Once his back and hammy started bothering him, his delivery really changed. He wasn't finishing like he was. Dude needs to get in shape this offseason.

 

And what makes you think that the same thing isn't going to happen again next year?

 

If he doesn't show up to play, Piniella will kill him. It all starts with a phone call in the offseason. Piniella isn't Dusty. Players with run. They will do drills. Eyre either gets in shape or has a heart attack in ST.
