    Biagini's cutter and changeup have both been really effective this season. They may be able to simply rework his pitch mix to get good value out of him. I think Sanchez will need more work but his curve ball has been very effective and he has solid velocity and spin on his fastball.

    I was going to post a picture, but I figured 95% of the board would have no idea who she was. :)

    Looking at statcast, it appears that Biagini's cutter has perhaps the highest SwStr% of any cutter in baseball, and he throws the majority of his cutters for strikes. Have him throw that pitch 60% of the time and see what happens.

    I'm still trying to figure out how I got to Baez. I can't even blame spell check.

    It's all in place for another title run. Now we just need to recapture the magic we had in 2017.
