Should I pick up Archie Bradley right now in fantasy? Since Corbin is out for the year, should I?
I feel like something should be said about Livan Hernandez hanging ’em up. But I don’t know what. I mean, he played for 9 teams.
His best trick may have been going 3-0 with a 7+ ERA in 2013 to manage to eeek his career winning percentage up to 0.501 to go out a winner.
