An argument that Floro was done in by workload and park dynamics:https://blogs.fangraphs.com/giving-floro-his-flowers/Would love to see him back next year.
No. We don’t need a dinosaur that throws in the 80s

We used to cheer for Lane Thomas.
Was he on the Dodgers in 2020? I'll guess that 3 might have tied him with Betts for most WS wins among active players when he retires.
Laurila: Training-wise, are you a believer in hitters preparing against specific pitchers — I’m thinking Trajekt — as opposed to training against, say, velocity in general?Hague: “Yeah. Massively. Especially given swing paths. You can’t take the same swing off of a high-vert four-seam as a turbo downhill fastball. Without a doubt. You have to gear your swing path. And depending on how slow the offspeed is, how much time do you need to buy off the fastball? How much do you have to extend your move, or hold certain positions longer?“You want to be game planning towards that, and then, hopefully through environment training over time, it becomes a very in-sync system to where you can have those talks with players, understanding what they’re working on today versus the guy they’ll be facing. And then you’ve got the whole puzzle of the relievers. It’s also understanding what the pitchers’ strengths are, what they tend to do. Are they throwing away from hitters’ damage zones or are they just sticking to their own strengths?”
