Wat? They seem "volatile", because each season for a RP is a tiny sample size. That's specifically WHY you look at what they've done over their career, not the narrow window of 1 season. Grade school statistics ftw. And this guy's been junk, end of story.

Not to rain on this Lowe love-in, but while he's been good this year, he's been somewhere between meh-and-atrocious the rest of his career. Non-2015 K/BB rate of 1.9, r u kidding? No Jays RP (other than pre-injury Sanchez) anywhere close to that level of control futility. Good on the mariners for getting 3 warm bodies for this guy. Not sure how he's anything other than a lateral move for the BJs. Hope he continues pitching as well as he has in 2015. Regression to the mean suggests he won't.
