And that's not getting into the fact that Broxton is only on this team because Matheny insists on 'veteran help' in relief, even if said veteran sucks balls.
I remember BRC asking why I was so bent out of shape years ago when we traded for Broxton and I just couldn't get him to understand that it's because Broxton is an objectively bad pitcher who ANY system in baseball should be able to produce at the league minimum. Instead the Cardinals have given the guy several million.
Tui sits in Memphis despite finally starting to figure things out. Jon Broxton, 'tested veteran', continues to give games away because he has no fastball command and no off-speed pitch. He's effectively a zero pitch pitcher. But hey, he's old so he has that going for him.
