We said the same thing about Will Smith and Kenley Jansen.

How about an Ohtani to the Braves silly trade scenario ---

Braves get:

Otahni - $30 mill, or what's left of it

Closer - Carlos Estevez. He's 30 years old. 21 saves 2.13 era ($6.75mill this year and next year)

Angels Get -

Ozuna - $16 mill next year
Bryce Elder

Dylan Dodd
Vaughn Grissom
Decent AA prospect

If you are Atlanta, do you make this trade?

Our playoff rotation could be:

Ohtani
Fried
Strider
Ole Uncle Charlie
And if Kyle Wright makes it back this year - GREAT. If not, we're in great position

my revisionist history memory recalls much more drama for Will and Kenley. Part of that with Kenley is that he pitched so damn slow, it made it seem like every inning was stressful even when he went 1-2-3.

2022 Kenley had 1-2-3 innings in 27 of 65 games (41.5% of games).
2021 Smith had 1-2-3 innings in 26 of 71 games (36.6% of games).

My perception seems to follow the game log stats. Iglesias pitches clean innings at a higher rate. He's also blown up at a higher rate (17% of games he's given up multiple runs). In 21, Smith only gave up multiple earned runs 4 times. I'm guessing he pitched in many more 1 run games that year resulting in a bunch of losses and blown saves. Kenley gave up more than 1 run 6 times in 22. Again, probably pitched in more close games to account for those blown saves.
