His velocity has been inconsistent

 

His average fastball in his last start was 93.3/93.8 (FF/FT) topping out at 96.2, he hit 95+ 7 times out of 47 fastballs.

 

In the start before that he was at 94.4/93.7 topping out 96.3 hitting 95+ 21 times out of 67 fastballs.

 

Here's his velocity chart from fangraphs:

Good stuff. I was too lazy to do the research on my own. That is a bit of a red flag. Well, if this is permanent, who cares. That's a good thing for us.

This is the Trade Deadline of the overpay.

 

Don't tell me we couldn't get a complete haul for Quentin, Crain, Frasor, Ohman, Thornton, Floyd, and Danks.

 

We have the wrong GM for trading away. Kenny is always in All In mode. He will just restock the chairs on the titanic in the offseason. He and Ozzie need to go after this year or it will be more of the same.

Do you really think the Phillies overpaid for Hunter Pence? I thought it was a steal, and they would have paid even less for Quentin.

No, but it was a HUGE price and Quentin should have been able to get something not much worse.

Good article by Jeff Passan about the value of prospects today.

 

J4L, I highly recommend.

 

Linky

I do like how Passan takes a shot at the return on the Cliff Lee and Captain Cheeseburger deals without noting that there were BA top 50 guys in those deals as well.
