And a 4.2 era in the NL as a closer


They were breaking it down, and said his adjusted ERA was closer to 3...saying he had some bad luck? Not sure what that means, or if defense behind him was bad....



He strikes out a few, but walks a few.... They really are trying to move as far away from the "pitch to contact" mentality that the previous regime adhered to. :lol:

Ya I will say that

At least these new guys don't only look for guys who throw 88 or less

I saw a comment earlier about it and just looked it up...in back-to-back outings on April 26th and 29th he gave up 8 ER in 1.2 IP. His ERA was shot after that. After those outings he didn't give up an ER in his next 20 outings, spanning 19.1 IP until the Rockies got to him for an ER on July 2nd.

Still not enamored with his walk rate.

They are gonna have to go at least 6 years $130M to get him, no way that happens. Go get Cobb and Cole and call Cincinnati about trading for Iglesius and find a couple other decent pen options and let's get at this!


Looks like Cole will be a Yankee

With the addition of Addison Reed the bullpen should now be much less of a concern, but they still need to go get a top starter to really certify themselves as playoff contenders for this year.

They lost Buddy Boshers. Claimed off waivers by the Astros. :scratch: such a Twins move.... losing a player for nothing.
