Moan4Yoan Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) Cruz owns Giolito three times and then Jimmy freaking Cordero owns Cruz. Go figure. But I can see why they claimed Cordero. He has amazing stuff like Ruiz, if they can only somehow harness it. That's usually the biggest problem though...

Even though he got lit up tonight I'd honestly stick him at closer if they trade Colome. The extra adrenaline rush may actually be beneficial for him and he's the antithesis of Ruiz/Vieira in throwing strikes (so far). See if he pitches well and dangle him next season or so.

Eh, just over an .800 OPS in the minors (AA and AAA) for a corner outfielder? Not a surprise he is a .750 OPS corner outfielder in the majors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) 42 minutes ago, fathom said: Hasn’t the slider been his best pitch statistically Yes. It doesn't matter. He used to have a 65 grade curve and it disappeared because he lost the feel for it. Can't throw a good one for a strike anymore. It isn't like results matter this year anyway. I think this is just a blip on the radar. Again, he just ran into a super hot Nelson Cruz and more times than not they'll miss those meatballs because he had a lot of zip on his heater tonight.

Agreed, but guess who his agent is? He would only be worth acquiring if you could quickly extend him to a reasonable contract extension. He's gone in two years.
