That BB/9...

[Dr. Dinger]

Sub-20% GBs, that might be the lowest I've ever seen.

[HERPDERP]

If its for a PTBNL scrub this is a good deal. He has been pretty good pre-injury last year. Decent gamble.

Velo and SwStr% have fallen off a cliff this year.

 

Probably not the answer but maybe he's an upgrade on one of the backend guys.

lol come on King

[HERPDERP]

lol come on King

 

it'll probably be something like Dwight Smith

am still waiting for that mother to switch to 2B like was rumored. He really doesn't seem to have a future in a COF.

They've already tried it at the Arizona Fall League and it didnt stick for whatever reason.

IIRC they actually did try this, it just didn't work out. I think he might have even played a handful of MiLB games at the position.

[CJ-Freeway]

Good, I guess this move can't hurt.

[z3r0s]

too bad. He has some desirable skill-sets, just harder to dream on them at his positions.

[GD]

Better than Tepera

 

?

Hes coming back from that awful achillies injury, he looked pretty rusty in his first few appearances but has been much crisper his last handful of outings. Hopefully he continues and resembles his 2015 form

[HERPDERP]

its Sean Ratcliffe, who I never heard of

[HERPDERP]

Better than Tepera

 

?

 

the strikeouts are still there, as well as the track record. So we got that going for us.

[z3r0s]

I think Grilli is a great guy to gamble on. Especially if the cost is basically nobody.

CONFIRMED - #Bluejays have acquired reliever Jason Grilli from #Braves. #Jays

Why is this guy so s*** this year?

[flafson]

This year he has ERA 5.29, FIP 4.4 and xFIP 5.22, why do people believe he will be an upgrade over any other scrap?

[gbill2004]

Like Storen, his fastball velocity is down 2 mph this year, at 92mph. Last year it was 94.

[gbill2004]

Probably an upgrade over Storen. Also shows fans that the front office is trying to win. Or at least gives that appearance.

 

He is at 12k per 9 innings this year.

[Sammy225]

Your not going to find a star on the trade market this early so you try to catch cheap lightning in a bottle. If he finds what he used to have then he can be a good catch for what i am guessing is pretty cheap.

[bones10]

Last 5 appearances : 4.2 Innings, 0 Runs, 4 walks, 8Ks.

[TRM]

worth a shot

[Governator]

6.88 BB/9 cough

 

 

He's an older Steve Delabar
