FA Target - Jameson Taillon

[Just Regular]

I hope we're fortunate enough for a few years debate on whether or not he is a successful #2 overall pick in the draft!

Within memory double Tommy John guys have existed in my mind as "It's Over" at almost the same level as thoracic outlet guys, but as medical science progresses, he (and Eovaldi also in this class) is among some notable successes even after twice through the car wash.     The going rate is the going rate.

Apart from pedigree snobbery, even after Procedure 2, Cashman paid a fine Roansy Contreras price to get his last two Club years, and he did fine in this division.

Pretty hot market if someone with as meh a career as Taillon can pull down something in the 4/60 range.

No. He went there in person. When he threw, the radar gun just registered as ZOOM!!!!@?, so teams are impressed.

The mention of Jon Gray’s 2021 deal is interesting.  Gray had a career ERA+ of 107 in 829 innings going into last offseason.  Taillon has a career ERA+ of 107 in 781 innings.  So, not a bad comp.
