2043.3: Reliever of the Year

Post by Rubaboo » Mon Aug 17, 2020 10:15 pm

2043 was an up and down year for the Aztecs, or, perhaps more appropriately, up THEN down. The team started hot before tapering off in the middle of the season and falling through the trapdoor during the last 2 months and missing the playoffs. Despite a 85-77 finish, the teams bullpen was mostly unreliable at best and a hideous dumpster fire at worst. The one silver lining? The same one it has been for the last few seasons. The winner of the 2043 Reliever of the Year award in Mexico City is...

The Winner:

Gerard Wagner
2043 Stat Line: 90 G, 10-8, 39 Saves, 2.90 ERA, 3.56 FIP, 158.1 IP, 2.2 WAR

The Frenchman has set himself apart in the Aztec bullpen, not that that is an exceptional feat, especially in 2043. While Wagner is no Huber or Leach, he is available to pitch every day, often multiple innings, and is effective in doing so which is important when the rest of the arms around you are sketchy. The biggest question with Wagner going forward - will the Aztecs decide to try him in the rotation at some point? Coaches are loathe to remove him from a role in which he has performed well, but a dearth of other options may make him one of Mexico City's top 5 arms in 2044.
