Please don’t think I’m a traitor, I’m a huge fan of ‘Kenleyfornia’ and all he has done for the team and the city over the course of his career. But Jansen has demonstrated that he is indeed human over the last two seasons, both in the regular season and deep in the playoffs. Jansen has logged tons of innings over the last few seasons, and any reinforcement would bring much-needed relief to Jansen’s big-time arm.
Craig Kimbrel is as good as it gets in terms of bullpen help. In fact, he probably is one of just two or three relievers who could rival Kenley’s production.
