Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 Continues Into Red October (2024 Edition)

Eno Sarris has been talking up Hoffman as a potential starter next year.

That's.... something

a) why would Hoffman do that
b) he doesn't have the pitch mix to go through a lineup 2-3 times

a) why would Hoffman do that

Same reason as Jordan Hicks. More $$$.

b) he doesn't have the pitch mix to go through a lineup 2-3 times

Eno's a big pitch nerd and seems to think he does. It's 3 above average to plus pitches and he had good command last year. Of course where do those pitches land when he's stretched out remains a question but he has started in the past.

How so? He works for them. Whatever happens is on the players. My guess is your just a Boras hater.

Did you not notice the big name Boras clients last season that didn't get deals done until the end of spring/beginning of the season?

And that they took a haircut.

This lays it out pretty good.

The clock may be ticking on Scott Boras’ MLB reign

Playoff hero Jordan Montgomery fired Boras after being one of several big-name free agents to sign late for a much lower contract than expected.

That is on the players. Boras works for them. Blame starts with them.
