It’s been a little while since we talked about Craig Kimbrel. In fact, as far as I can tell we haven’t really mentioned the closer in a post more than in passing since before the regular season got underway. If you only pay attention to the Red Sox and not the league as a whole, it’s understandable if you’re not up on your Kimbrel knowledge. You probably assume he found a new team and is doing Kimbrel things somewhere. Instead, he is still a free agent because very little in baseball’s economic system makes sense anymore. Bullpens, as we know, are of growing importance in today’s baseball environment, and yet it seems that just about every contender has legitimate complaints to make about their relief corps.
Yeah, it’s a Craig Kimbrel post
