fathom Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I repeat: Cotts is not a MLB pitcher until he learns another pitch. It's not like he has a 95 mph fastball that he can throw past anyone. Maybe we can trade him for Farnsworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What do May, June, July, and September have in common? Neal Cotts had an ERA over 7 in each of these months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Yes, the Farnsworth comment was a joke. For some reason, the green didnt work. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I repeat: Cotts is not a MLB pitcher until he learns another pitch. It's not like he has a 95 mph fastball that he can throw past anyone. Maybe we can trade him for Farnsworth. Even though I've been critical of him, its only because some people adamently search for excuses to explain his failures. I believe Neal Cotts has potential. His 'sneaky' fastball routinely touches 92 mph and there have been several outings where flashes of brilliance have surfaced. A typical Neal Cotts line usually consists of several ER's and numerous strikeouts. I suppose these type of players will drive you crazy deciding whether or not they'll "pull it all together."

Gene Honda Civic Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Cotts gave up a HR once every 34.67 Innings in the Minors. In the Majors he's given them up at a rate of one every 5.6 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Cotts gave up a HR once every 34.67 Innings in the Minors. In the Majors he's given them up at a rate of one every 5.6 innings. So if he pitched roughly 200 innings he would give up around 30 a year. Which is not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What are his home and away splits FWIW Cheat, home run wise? I know you did not ask me but he has given up 4 at home and now 9 on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 What are his home and away splits FWIW Cheat, home run wise? They don't explain anything... He's a WHOLE lot better at home. 4HR vs. 9HR on the road... His walk rate is much higher at home, and his BAA much lower... It appears that he just tries to make perfect pitches on the road... Uses the zone too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
