Prime Derek Lowe induced about 2-2.5% more swinging strikes over 200+ inning seasons than Sanchez did as a reliever this year. Derek Lowe was a lot less hittable than Aaron Sanchez looks to be.
-
Worst case is we end up with another Kyle Drabek. His floor isn't useful reliever.
-
This front office has a long history of giving playing time to replacement-level talent. I do think he has a chance to be an effective reliever though. It's just really difficult to picture him contributing as a starter next year.
-
0 would be most likely
-
Yeah I know. For some reason I was thinking he was like a 7/4 K/BB GB guy.
-
This would be shocking.
-
Nobody wants Clay Buckles or Tim Hudson?
-
And now that I look at the numbers, Carlos Silva is not what I thought he was. Egregious comp, I'm dumn etc...
-
He'll need command. Nobody wants to run Carlos Silva out there.
-
Not nearly enough information.
-
I had actually assumed like 11% because he sure looked dominant.
-
Yeah, that's my take too. The comp pick will come very close to being as valuable as I expect Sanchez to be a year from now. Add in like $20-30 million in surplus value from Zobrist and it's a very light offer.
-
Holy f***, Sanchez only had a swinging strike rate of 6.2% out of the pen this year.
-
Sanchez for one year of Zobrist (+ comp pick) seems very light. Pretty sure it doesn't get a deal done.
-
No, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the 1.5 range, which would make him a 5/1 K/B guy.
-
xFIP is really just K, BB, and GB rate. His xFIP was lower because he stopped walking people.
-
You could always put yourself on the DDL waiting list and hope one of us doesn't have children.
-
I hope their young guys work out and their FO makes good enough decisions to support them with good vets. Their core could be a lot of fun to watch going forward.
-
I like that the Twins stepped up to keep their guy here. They've been through a rough stretch, and just stumbled on a guy good enough to set the single-season K/BB record. Good for them for absorbing a palatable amount of risk to make sure their guy isn't being poached for at least five years. They're trying to build a quality product, and the optics of losing an ace (if indeed he is one) would be disastrous.
-
But having him under contract for three reasonably priced years beats beats having him walk for a comp pick. I like the idea of extending a player 1-2 years before free agency if you can find terms that work, and I think these terms work. We live in a world where Feldmans and Guthries and Vargases land 20-30 M guarantees. I think a healthy Hughes is a very solid bet to be significantly better than that.
-
I don't see this deal as particularly risky. 3 years @ 14 per is unlikely to carry significant negative value, and with a repeat of 2014 they were looking at something like 5/100 instead of 3/42.
-
This is probably a good move. Having under contract for 5 years @ $58 M for his age-29-33 seasons is solid.
-
lol

Sent you a PM.

You should get on with the rebuild. I could use Perry or Lucic.
