Yeah, I'm not too crazy about this one. I don't think it's horrible or anything. Price is about right by the market, i'm just not sure our odds are very good right now and Davies might have been a good asset for us next year and beyond.
Chen's "ceiling" is proven. Edrod may flame out and be not much of anything. I think he could be a decent pitcher, but nothing is guaranteed and I don't see anything special there. Certainly not like Arrieta in terms of stuff/upside.
Well at least one of those 0-2 run games was against us and I wasn't that impressed. Like you said, we'll see how it goes. I think MOR pitcher ceiling is probably about right.
Nick finishes June with zero homeruns for the season. Still holding firm with a respectable 746 OPS and 389 OBP. rWAR sitting at an even 1 (fWAR slighly more favorable at 1.2) at almost the halfway point of the season. Nick has started in 76 of Atlanta's 77 games, including 1 game as DH.
Yeah, Turner Crushed it last year too. He has really filled out and developed power. He looks like a Lumberjack up there with that big Red Beard. Always liked him.
Yeah, reality eventually hits all of us. I know we didn't score any runs off him but I thought our hitters worked him fairly well when we played. He looks like he could be a very good pitcher but I don't see greatness there nor did I at anytime time we could not hit the guy.
