Around Baseball 2015

He can't hit and he doesn't walk at all. Really a headscratcher... surely the Reds could have gotten a sexier centrepiece for Frazier, who isn't even an impending FA.

 

I think he can probably hit a bit

 

agreed it's a garbage deal

 

he's kind of like Ketel Marte without any SS chops

[THANOS]

Detroit will be a threat considering 2nd half Verlander was vintage Verlander.

 

dat bullpen tho..

 

 

I saw Verlanders splits, but didn't watch him pitch in the 2nd half, did he regain his fastball?

[burlingtonbandit]

He had the same fastball velo but I think he just learned to pitch with less stuff. I wouldn't go as far as vintage Verlander but if he pitched like he did in the second half he's a solid #2/3.

Nothing out of the ordinary with his velocity

He wasn't terrible, but he had 4-5 putrid starts

In my defense, I don't really remember saying that. I'm not even sure I was looking at the right player page.

 

The fact that you called him 'Montanez' lead me to believe that you were inebriated.

It seems his velocity was the same as 2014 with an average velo of 93 and topping out at 99. It seems he can still rear back at pop the glove, but may not ever average +95 again. Let's hope he's managed to halt the regression for a few more years.

ZiPS thinks the Reds....

 

"got as much for 2 years of Frazier as they got for 1 year of Alfredo Simon"

 

The machine thinks Peraza = Eugenio Suarez.

ZiPS sucks

The one on the bottom left is North

 

the asian woman behind him is Boxy

[guylaroche5]

I wanna see the WSox take the next step, they've been dogshit for far too long. It was painful to watch them give up decent prospects for shark only for him to have a mediocre season and then walk for nothing...

[Nafro]

I read an article last year on how Scott Schebler had some sic exit velocity. A lot of people have used the doesn't walk, just hits argument on Peraza. Its easier to learn to walk than it is to hit.

 

This deal is the precuror to Phillips trade I guess.

Lol like I'd ever join the ZiPS gang. Steamer4lyfe

That's not true at all. Guys can't just "decide" to walk.

Arencibia would disagree with this.

[The Cats Ass]

Peraza also doesn't strikeout though. He's pretty much a 2nd base version of Ben Revere.

[G-Snarls]

Wow

 

Dodgers could be left empty handed in the free agent SP department

[G-Snarls]

They're gonna have to go the trade route

 

They need another quality SP

[BTS]

Wow, Kuma's shoulder must be a mess

[Sammy225]

Wow, Kuma's shoulder must be a mess

 

Kuma on the cheap?

[G-Snarls]

Kuma on the cheap?

 

Hell yeah

[TRM]

This is just a lazy post to get a couple thanks. You know we're not in the ZiPS cult.

 

Ban him

[TRM]

I'd condone this. Kid has potential, but has really lacked discipline lately.

 

It'd be a good, respectful, cage rattling.
