BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2012 Terry Francona was a successful manager for many reasons, but his bullpen usage was not one of them. Case in point: Randy Williams, he of the career K/BB of 1.3 and a 5.82 ERA over five seasons, had 11 batters faced in situations considered "high leverage" in his eight-plus innings in Boston.
2011 Randy Williams had a shot at keeping a second lefty's role, but lacking anything to fool anyone for any length of time puts him back in the pool of minor-league FAs.
2010 Having not pitched in the majors since 2005 while moving across four organizations, Randy Williams spent the last two months of the season earning big-league paychecks and proving once again that being left-handed is an awesome thing.
