His Percentile Rankings according to baseballsavant are pretty impressive...

[jaysguy44]

Hicks had a rough April, but since he's rocking a 2.67 ERA, 2.39 FIP.

aside from his walk rate

Yes, I hope our pitching staff can fix his walk issues.

[TheHurl]

When everyone is healthy (Romano and Green) he can pitch in a lot of scenarios. I can see him pitching the 6th after a Ryu start.

[JaysAllMighty]

Hitters will s*** their pants....

 

[jaysguy44]

Jordan Hicks, last 33 appearances:

 

36 IP

53 K (34.4%)

16 BB (10.4%)

2.25 ERA

1.92 FIP

86.2 EV

62.2% GB

[The Cats Ass]

Hicks is a great get. Hits 104, averages 101.

[tossingthiscoin]

He's a rental, so I don't think we gave up many valuable players for the trade.

[Carlos Danger]

Hicks has been good in July.. Not important what he has done prior to that this year.

[PhillyBlueJay]

Romano 97-99

Hicks 99-102

Pearson 97-100

Garcia 96-98

Swanson 95-96

Mayza 96-97

Pop - 96-98

Jackson 95-96

 

That’s a lot of f***ing heat!

 

Need to 100% designate Mitch White now instead of shuffling Jackson or Pearson back to AAA.

 

Would piss off players and fans time to let him hit waiver wire which I think he would pass through!

He throws 100 MPH and strikes out a bunch. May not always know where it's going, but it works. #BlueJays

 

Good move, no word on return?

[jaysguy44]

Source: Right-hander Adam Kloffenstein is going to the St. Louis Cardinals from the Toronto Blue Jays in the Jordan Hicks trade. Unclear if there’s others involved.

You’re overestimating all of these guys’ velos by 1-2 mph lol. Ironically also forgot Genesis Cabrera who is 95-98.

Ah poop. Not the worst piece to be moved though

[Eat My Shatkins]

Nice of Kloff to bounce back well enough to land us a fireballer reliver at the deadline.

[John_Havok]

My guess is Kloff and a guy like Connor cooke

 

Robertson landed a AA starter and a AA reliever, this return is probably similar

BREAKING: The Texas Rangers are finalizing a trade to acquire left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery from the St. Louis Cardinals, sources tell ESPN.

Someone remind me how to post twitter links?

[Spanky99]

Sem Robberse and Kloffenstein is the return. Pricey as expected.

 

[PhillyBlueJay]

The questions is….

 

Does Schneider have the balls to announce him as “The Closer” until Romano comes back and what if Romano falters after coming back, do we deal with Romano’s pride versus sticking with Hicks?!

 

Will be interesting!

[Carlos Danger]

Jordan Montgomery going to the Rangers.

 

Cardinals pulling triggers today.

[Spanky99]

Rangers are stacked, lol.

[Carlos Danger]

Jays SP Sem (SP?) Roberse the 2nd piece going for Hicks.

[jaysguy44]

Did the Rangers really need another starter?

 

That rotation now is crazy

[John_Havok]

If 2 non roster guys are the return for Hicks, they’d still have to DFA someone right?

[Jays24]

How the hell did the Rangers go from being a joke to potentially being favourites to win the whole damn thing so quick man lol

[Carlos Danger]

It better be someone who rhymes with fight, light or bitch tight.

[John_Havok]

It better be someone who rhymes with tight, light or bitch, tight.

 

May as well just throw him in the trade

[max silver]

Sem Robberse and Kloffenstein is the return. Pricey as expected.

 

 

Damn that's a really steep price. Definitely needed another leverage arm with Romano on the shelf right now so good on Atkins for pulling the trigger.
