Graveman was fine. Kelly was unnecesary Archived Message Posted by bjl63 on May 17, 2022, 15:47:59, in reply to "I can't understand the relief pitching spend " especially when they failed to address actual pressing needs Kelly also was never that good anyway. He got some overrated publicity for hitting a few Astros. Butr as a pitcher, he's nothing worth overspending on.
