knightni Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Honestly, Putnam and Jennings can go. At least Avi has more potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to cost less than a million apiece. No reason to let them go. Who are you going to get to replace Putnam for that cost? Jennings was pretty damn good after his injury this year.

GGajewski18 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 At the All Star break, Jennings had an ERA of 7.83. He lowered that to 3.99 with a FIP of 3.47. He gave up 8 ER in the 2nd half of the season. You definitely keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take out his 6 ER in 0.2 innings against the Reds, his ERA for the rest of the season was 3.07. Definitely worth keeping around.

It's not really cherry-picking if 1 out of 53 appearances makes your numbers look much worse than they really were, and his ERA and FIP even with that appearance weren't that bad anyway. It's not like I took out 10 appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I took out 10 appearances. Especially in a situation where he was left out there on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) I know you can do this on any pitcher but Jennings also came in on Opening Day, walked someone, intentionally walked Morales to get to Gordon and then he gets Gordon hit a weak grounder up the middle that Micah Johnson just stopped and watched go by him. Jennings should have gone 1/3 with no runs. Instead he went 0.0 with 3 runs. If Carlos Sanchez was playing second base that inning he would have an ERA of 3.49 instead of 3.99 on the year. Again, I am aware you can do this with any pitcher but I remember thinking, this sucks for Jennings when it happened. Which matches his FIP almost exactly.
