My Take
What I appreciate most about Griffin Canning is how complete a pitcher he is. Plenty of arms can throw, but winning a Gold Glove in 2020 tells me he treats the entire act of pitching as craft, fielding included. His path from the Angels to the Mets and on to the Padres reads like that of a professional who keeps reinventing himself to stay valuable. As a UCLA product from sunny Mission Viejo, he carries a quiet competence I find easy to root for. He may never be the loudest name, but the survivors of this game intrigue me more than the headliners.
