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.
-
Absolutely. It would have been an amazing story.
-
Dayum. I was really hoping he'd go the whole year without a HR.
-
Well, the great Edrod got his ass handed to him today by the Angels. ERA up to 4.64 for the season.
-
Holy crap. His ERA is down to 1.30!
-
It is pretty fascinating. He's hitting a lot more groundballs this year and spraying them everywhere.
-
Nick's OPS has dropped to .726. He is still in search of his first homerun,
-
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, I'm not that thrilled.
-
Looks like we'll be facing Miller next week.
-
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, that's almost always bad..
-
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.
-
I'm with your fiend who would like to see him go all year with zero home runs. That would be awesome.
-
0-2 with 3 walks today. OBP at .399 with a .305 BA. OPS at 771. Still 0 Homeruns. I'm impressed.
-
I'll need to watch that.
-
Nick finishes May with Zero homeruns. 731 OPS. 104 OPS+ and a near replacement 0.2 rWAR despite a still impressive 385 OBP. fWAR does hold him about a half win better (mostly in defensive value between DRS and UZR) .
-
It is rather amazing that he is maintaining good production. He is not striking out and and slashing away at a 371 babip. 72 points higher than last year. Wee Willie Keeler would be proud.
-
Not sure what is sadder about this.
-
Nick's OPS is up to 740 and he was batting cleanup today.
-
True, but my thinking was this would likely be the most valuable year of the 4. I've been watching him as I'm sure you have as well. He's just not driving the ball with any authority beyond the infield.
-
That too. I do wonder what other suitors were out there though. I think the Tigers had some interest if I'm not mistaken. Even at a discounted price this is starting to look pretty bad. Still early though I guess, but it doesn't look good at all.
-
It won't, that said I think he'll eventually hit a few homeruns and some more doubles than he has to this point and take that slugging up from .323 with a .030 ISO. Even with the high OBP (.386 today), Both Bref and Fangraphs are holding him at around replacement value right now. Small sample size warning but some of that is from below average defense and baserunning thrown in the mix. Looking more and more like Dan got this one right.
