Second guessing the release of Joba? Really?
Do you think Toronto is doing that right now as well?
As for Cueto, I think he falls to FOURTH in contract value behind Price, Grienke and Zimmerman. He could have been #1.

Joba was a huge part of the problem, along with Gorzelanny. His BABIP and home run rates are not a result of bad luck. Teams were teeing off on him. One rocket off the bat after another. He had a 14.4 ERA in the last seven games before he was designated for assignment. I see he has a 13.5 ERA with KC. I’d rather give the kids a shot. Enough is enough.
Drew VerHagen, who replaced Joba has been a huge upgrade.

I really like VerHagen. He is a sleeper to be a top reliever in 2016. I think he could go 2 innings consistently as well.

I will be happy if he is just a reliable reliever. Trade for Jake McGee.

Joba was terrible. He may rebound elsewhere, but the crowd had turned on him in Detroit. He had no confidence. As for Ausmus and his use of the bullpen, his comments about Joba speak for themselves. If Joba was on the team, he should have been mop up, but Ausmus would have kept using him in high leverage situations. I’m in with getting a different manager.
