dc. Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not sure how I feel about coming off a few injuries, but he's one hell of a pitcher. In his most complete season starting, he went 10-8 in 22 starts. But he had an ERA well under three. In fact, in his 8 losses, he gave up an average of 3.5 runs a game. Sad for the A's. He also used to be a long reliever and I like giving us some depth with a legit spot starter and reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 One of the better signings so far. The guy's a good pitcher and has been reliable for awhile. I think they got him to put behind Guthrie, but he could be a reliever just as well, so we'll see. Hopefully, whatever depression issues he had don't flare up again being a member of the Orioles. They also resigned Fiorentino and Hendrickson. Hendrickson got a ST invite, Fiorentino apparently did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millz58 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Nice; I cannot remember a year when the O's have been this active in the market, and at so many positions. I hope this is a positive sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millz58 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 In his most complete season starting, he went 10-8 in 22 starts. But he had an ERA well under three. That season his K/BB ratio was almost 2.8 (95/34), not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well, his K's have never been high... which is fine. But his BBs are pretty low. Just under 3 a game. Far from perfect, but simply put: he can pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
