inexorable.
Wow, that is quite a word. I had to look it up. Not able to be stopped or changed for those who like me don't know.
I am not sure it couldn't be stopped or changed, it just is what they wanted so they made it happen. They think he will make the pitching better as well as the overall team.
Our starting pitching underperformed big time last year. Not hard to see why they would want to improve that or why they would think Farrell could do it. Whether he does or not, we will see.
Tomase (Herald) is reporting that the "compensation" is they get Aviles and we get Adam Lind. No great loss of value there. Lind's problem the last few years is he can't hit lefties but actually hits pretty well against righties (around 0.800 slugging over 2010-2012).
