From MLB Trade Rumors:

He allowed 12 runs (11 earned) through his first 11 2/3 MLB frames, though he fanned 14 hitters against three walks. Avila’s fastball sat in the 94-95 MPH range, while he also showed a cutter and a knuckle-curve.

The righty spent all of last season working with San Francisco’s top minor league team. He allowed an even three earned runs per nine over 72 frames, striking out 21.3% of batters faced with a solid 46.2% grounder rate.

Had a nice 2023 in the PCL.  Hasn't pitched in almost 3 weeks and had a bad May before that.  How hurt is he?

Elias fascination with high velocity/spin pitchers who can't find the strike zone will never end. LOL

[DocJJ]

Looks like he went 14-0 one year...  That is a successful season!

[wildcard]

Looks like a good addition.

Those are the key metrics right there that might make him a helpful project.

Yes with all the failures Elias has had the last few years this is a perfectly logical reaction.  Sorry I am guilty of a troll getting to me also.

This is a secondary or more accurately a thirdly or even a fourthly move.  Something he does all of the time.  It means next to nothing. 

Elias loves to do this kind of thing.  And overall......it doesn't matter!   He may hit 1 out of 11 or even 2 out of 20 of these things....which is fine!  It is all reward and no risk.  So whatever.    At the very least it provides depth in the minor leagues. 

Will it make or break the Os?  Hell no.

If you can't tell the difference between me talking about Elias's fascination with other teams high velocity/high spin castoffs who can't stay on the major league club, and real actual major league moves?  Then you haven't been paying attention.

I could give you 5 examples just in the past year.  Just another example of people like you COMPLETELY lying about a post I make.  And don't worry......you aren't alone.  Lots of people do it on here. 

Again.....it doesn't matter.  This move.  Doesn't matter.   But if you want to call me a troll for you thinking I THINK that these types of moves somehow invalidate what Elias has done here overall for the past 5 years?

 

Then you be you.    But it isn't true.

Is that you Jim Hunter?

[Philip]

If this is fresh blood for AAA, great. If they can do something with him and make him into Albert Suarez of 2023 Yennier Cano, great. 
 

But I still want a reliable bullpen piece or two, and this doesn’t move the needle.

But for Future reference, is it “Ah-vee-ah” or “Ah-vill-ah”? I never knew which it is.

He's about 1.5 years younger than Dean Kremer, and got his college start with the same San Joaquin Delta Mustangs, but Kremer was a couple years before him there.

He is the undisputed minor leagues reliever Wins vulture this decade.
