I like the Kimbrel signing entirely because I loved the guy when he was first with the Braves. I never got why guys like Hoffman and Rivera were such sensations with their fanbases until Kimbrel came along. Sure they were good, but why the fervor? But then Kimbrel started coming out, threw five pitches and struck out three batters in twelve seconds in the bottom of the ninth and I was electrified. So if the guy isn't worth is contract, I hope he signs tons of autographs and has a moment or two.
