    Actually he's a 4 WAR pitcher by RA9WAR and rWAR, and is almost at that already this year. As a pitcher who has beat his FIP his whole career spanning -750 innings and 3+ seasons, I am inclined to go with either of those over a FIP based WAR like fWAR. These trades tend to come with another piece, the teams trading for the ML rarely get just that guy, and I suspect that will be the case here too even if it is not Vizcaino. While he does beat his FIP it's usually by .4 or .5. I"m not about to believe in a guy whose current babip is .040 lower than any other he's ever had in his career and whose strand rate is also the highest of his career. When the numbers start evening out I suspect he's a 3.2-3.5ERA pitcher which is nice, but I suspect they want value like he's a young top of the rotation pitcher and he just isn't.

    wow that sucks with a likely draft coming in 2017. No last chance to splurge.
  3. Tryptamine
    Way to choke
  4. Tryptamine
    Make him at least throw one god damn strike
  5. Tryptamine
    WIllson with a horseshit at bat
  6. Tryptamine
    same damn pitch every time, how hard is it to figure out?
  7. Tryptamine
    Terrible at bat by KB
  8. Tryptamine
    Travis Wood is either not so fast or he got a really bad read
  9. Tryptamine
    Please no fake rally, I can't take it after that 7th inning.
  10. Tryptamine
    WHy in the hell is Montero hitting for Almora?
  11. Tryptamine
    and Heyward continues to be almost entirely useless when he's not in the outfield.
  12. Tryptamine
    Way to ruin the at bat ump.
  13. Tryptamine
    Ok Javy, don't get all crazy aggressive to try and make up for it. Just give us a good AB.
  14. Tryptamine
    Absolute implosion
  15. Tryptamine
    Only pitch he has is that splitter and half of them end up 5 feet short of home plate. On to the next washed up former closer.
  16. Tryptamine
    Good thing we tried to get that extra batter out of Peralta rather than just use Strop.
  17. Tryptamine
    Giving up hard contact just about every batter.
  18. Tryptamine
    Happy to get out there with only 1 run. Hopefully Lackey is done.
  19. Tryptamine
    Man, Lackey went downhill quick.
  20. Tryptamine
    Baez suddenly sitting with a good looking .272/.314/.461 line.
  21. Tryptamine
    Letting your young potential ace lefty go 100+ pitches with a known bone spur. Terrific coaching.
  22. Tryptamine
    Was a change up no?
  23. Tryptamine
    God I love Javy.
  24. Tryptamine
    Not that I've noticed, I think it's just that he's completely unfamiliar with that outfield.
  25. Tryptamine
    and Lackey is suddenly completely broken
