This post-season I still don't get the animosity. His Pirates start was lousy, to be sure. But he was stellar in relief against the Dodgers and really, his start against them was solid as well. It got nasty on him there in the 5th, but he recovered and was actually looking pretty good in the 6th before his defense hurt him and I believe Matheny pulled him too soon.

In game 4 of the WS the guy put up a WHIP right at 1 and had a solid K rate. He was coasting in the 6th inning of that game as well and was out of that damn inning until Pedroia hit a great pitchers pitch and fisted it into the OF. Matheny had him IBB Ortiz (foolishly) and then ****ed him over when he brought in Maness to give up that HR.

Lynn actually pitched a good game but he got victimized by a flare single and shitty managing.

I think we get a lot of confirmation bias when people analyze Lance Lynn.
He is a solid 3, which is valuable. He has the stuff to be even better. He isn't Carp or Wainright in his make up on the mound, but few consistently have that edge. I think he is a chip for bargaining for sure, but we should expect strong value in return.
