That’s the thing , sevy hasn’t even done anything compared to what those other pitchers did so why even bring them up ? If anything you only reneforced the reason why I am not convinced sevy would have made a difference in this year’s playoffs .Quote:

Sevy has only pitched for two seasons to mixed reviews and been bad in the playoffs . Again there is no reason to bring up those other pitchers . Sevy has accomplished nothing yet , compared to those other pitchers . And Stan none of those pitchers listed missed most or all of three straight seasons due to injuries .Quote:

Kershaw's career isn't over yet, we'll see if he has a A-Rod like postseason in the future or ends up like the Buffalo Bills.
That is my entire argument in a nutshell. Even the best, would be HOFers, have bad postseason history. Are they all trash?Quote:

Either way it makes no sense to bring up that list of good pitchers when sevy hasn’t accomplished a thing yet . And because none of those pitchers listed missed most or all of three consecutive seasons .Quote:

Sevy MAY end up justifying the hype but he has A LOT of earning to do.
Gary/Andujar and one or two c type fill ins for Hader.
Who hangs up first? I think it's fair. But might be biased as a yanks fan.

Pitchers get rusty after not facing live pitching after 1 winter, getting all his feel and touch back after 3yrs as well as the consistency he needs is going to be ruff to say the least.
If he gets his stuff back, as we saw for 2 seasons, he can be dominate but he shouldn't be counted on or given anything. He needs to prove/ earn his status back. I do think we are a better team with any version of Sevy healthy, starter or even as a reliever. IMO IF he makes it back it think he could be a huge asset going forward. If were not going into the season counting on him being anything more than being our possible 3/4 starter when/if he gets back i'd be on board with that. That way he wouldn't have the TOR pressure and he can just go out and pitch.
I completely agree that after missing all the time he has, he's got to earn his "elite" status back. I do think that he could end up being everything we have hoped he can be with Cole there to mentor him now. He's the same age and has very similar stuff as Cole did when he first started working with Verlander. If Cole, who's said how much he enjoys working with younger pitchers, can do for Sevy what Verlander was able to do for him, we'll have a hell of a pitcher on our hands.
Then again we should have never let Verlander get to Houston and he could have started mentoring Sevy yrs ago but thats another discussion
No. That’s all me.Quote:

My opinion, for what little that’s worth in the grand scheme of things, is to slot him in at #5 and tell him to earn that over Monty and a #4 over Deivi. Personally, I don’t think he’s up to the task but, if he does.....great. Makes us a better team.Quote:

Those limited doses, bereft of the pressure of having to constantly anchor the game, may be where Severino’s true value resides. He could be very effective as a power 2-3 inning stopper and, let’s face it, that is something that we definitely need in the worst way. Think DRob in the playoffs.
And Day.........truer words than your last sentence have not been spoken round these parts.
