No reason to think he can close out a premier playoff opponent either.
Pads go out of their way to get Trevor saves. Including giving up
big leads to create save opportunities.
Trevor is really good ringing up the stats on lesser opponents.
He doesn't have championship stuff.
The pinnacle of this team and this owners aspiration is
division winners. Trevor can contribute to that, but little
more. We get in the playoffs...I'd rather see Bell on the
mound in the 9th in a tight game.
