Drew Storen DFA

[BTS]

What a clusterf***. Hard to think of a worse tenure with the team.

[Jonn]

Goodnight sweet prince. f*** off with Tepera though. f*** right off.

[Cyris]

Good move to DFA him as he wasnt providing any real value but calling up Tepera who is equally useless doesnt help much.

Would rather have seen a little outside the box thinking like calling up Hutchison and going with a 6 man rotation to limit Sanchez's innings to delay moving him to the pen.

Arencibia. Though of course the situations were completely different

[Virgil_Hiltz]

At least with Storen not pitching it will reduce the carbon footprint!

Franky Cordero was a disaster signing of epic proportions

Watch Storen find himself and everyone here who wished for his dfa catch amnesia

Yeah I can think of a few just from the AA era, Emilio Bonifacio, Francisco Cordero, Esmil Rogers, Jeremy Jeffress. Mike Sirotka pretty much takes the cake for worst of all time though.

[Dr Negative]

Basically every poster at the time thought that the Cordero acquisition was a disaster. The Storen thing is weird because I was actually quite excited to see him here. I figure he's going to bounce back next season unless he's hurt.

Yeah. We've had some disasters where known shitbags bombed, but there weren't really any warning signs that Storen was about to completely implode. Relievers.

I don't think many here would be shocked.

[Laika]

Sudden velo drop, unexpected. It happens.

 

.485 wOBA on his Sinker this year (primary fastball); .324 career.

 

Some of it is bad luck but not all of it.

So much for Storen, Osuna and Cecil being a poor man's Bettances Miller and Chapman. They weren't even a homeless man's Bettances Miller and Chapman.

 

Lol yup. Jesus christ Storen and Cecil have been bad. Osuna has also taken a bit of a step back

[RealAccountant]

Ffs how has Osuna taken a step back

[Jonn]

If this Osuna taking a step back we should be dancing in the streets. Hes had like 3 bad outings this year. 2 of them in a 3 game span. Being brought into train wreck scenarios by Gibbons. And he was unlucky otherwise he probably gets out of them and has an ERA under 1.5

Osuna has also taken a bit of a step back

 

He already has more fWAR this season in 42 appearances (1.4) than last season in 68 (1.3).

Why do people keep saying this? Even if he does find his form, all that says is that a change of scenery is what he needed. I feel like ever since the end of spring training I keep hearing about how he doesn't like it here in Toronto. If he lands in a place he likes and pitches well doesn't mean he would have pitch well here. He wasn't a fit here, move on

[Jonn]

I would say good for him. Clearly it wasn't a good fit here. You can't keep trotting him out if he isn't pitching well.

His ERA is around 0.6 in save opportunities. It's when he's in those non-save situation he loses that adrenalin or something... same was the case for Mariano no? s*** in non save situations vs. Save situations

No but he looks like he took a step back!!!!

[Effit]

I keep hearing about how he doesn't like it here in Toronto.

 

Was this confirmed by a reliable source, or just fan assumptions?

I kept hearing it on the Fan590 by Wilner and Brunt and co throughout the season since maybe April/May

Ah thanks. Unfortunate situation for all.

Um, Josh Johnson?

[Jonn]

Josh Johnson was epically disappointing. That one hurt the most to be honest. Obviously outside of trading away Syndergaard. I just had foolish high hopes for him.

Dickey/Thole has been a nightmare. Giving up what they did for a cy young winner who went from winning a cy young to pitching like Cy Youngs corpse.

Laser shot is finally over. Free Barnes

If Storen played on another team this year, I suspect a lot of people on here would be calling for Shatkins to give him a shot...

Why? The guy's peripherals are atrocious. A <9 K/9, 5.00 FIP, 4.36 xFIP, etc.

 

If he had numbers like Trevor May, then I'd agree with you, but Storen's been s*** in every way.

Because years of much better performance would lead one to believe that it's still in there and maybe a change of scenery could bring out the Grilli in him. Storen is not old so the odds are that he isn't just losing it.
