Soothsaying for Sixteen: Addison Reed

[Edgy MD]

I was somebody's closer. And then I wasn't. And then, I was somebody else's closer. And then I wasn't. But I came to New York and did everything I could as their number-three man. And I was pretty awesome. You have to admit.

Now I'm the number-two guy, and you know what? I could be number one if you'd just let me do what I do. I CAN! I've got a four-seamer which I throw, like, all the time; I've got an occasional hard slider to set that up; and I've got two last names that just lets everybody know that I mean business. "Addison Reed" is a the name of a high-end demolition contractor. "Addison Reed" is the name of lady-killing gentleman spy. "Addison Reed" is the name of a top-shelf MLB relief pitcher.

So, what's my 2016 look like to you?

Setup man supreme.
40+ holds, with fewer than 5 blown saves and a 1.18 WHIP.

I like Addison, we'll see him often this year and love him in 2016.

This guy... I don't get him. He looks empty inside.

57 games, 58 innings, 3.23, 3 saves, 4-3, 60-20 K-BB

I'm listening to the new Santana album. Not Johan, neither.
