The bullpen wasn't any problem to begin with; this either doesn't hurt anything not already in shambles, or it makes something good potentially great ... never mind that the bullpen excelled in light of being worked to death which one reasonably hopes will not be the case this year.
Guy will be 33 in Feb who Apologist said depended on velocity to suceed. Add he's a TJS guy. I think it's dumb. Save the 4.5M to chip in when trying to flip shithead.
He never lost the velocity. He was still flinging it last season. He just had trouble spotting it.
We have Bosio.
edit: According to charts, he lost maybe 1-2 mph off his 4 seamer,
and negligible differences in his other pitches. I'm not worried.
