You know what is fun to do? And by fun I mean the exact opposite of fun? Read what I wrote about Salas before last season. I was so wrong.
Also wrong: every projection.

Salas was released by the Mets in August and finished the season with the Angels. (As of 1/15 when this was written, he is still a free agent). He finished 2016 with great numbers and all of the projections saw it as not sustainable having him he regress to a 3.8 2 WRA and 1.19 WHIP.
But they were all wrong. Salas was really, really bad last year.
