Right! I traded Sheets in that 3rd offseason and I usually tab one bench guy to be my mop up pitcher, this season (my 5th) that guy is Freddie Freeman, at 39 yrs old he is the locker room leader and may get 150 ABs total if he is lucky, the previous 2 season it was whoever was the utility infielder. Thankfully Freeman has not had to pitch (yet).
