Right. That comment is out of context from a conversation PB and I had two days ago. I argued that since 2015, Shields resembled more of an inning eater type like Guthrie did for the Royals from 2012-2014.
Shields stats since 2015: 4.44 FIP, 1.357 WHIP, and a 4.00 E.R.A.
He's been an innings eater who has provided relief for the bullpen, but at 34, his role might be a #4 type innings eater at this point.
PB, I like your analysis and think you're one of the best baseball minds on here. But your constant negativity is wearing me down. This team won back to back pennants and is off to strong start despite struggling with major injuries. If that opinion means I embarrassed myself, so be it.
