August 7, 20197 yr He was just DFA'd by Arizona today. He was one of the 20+ relievers the TD writers featured in July at the trade deadline. Now there's an opportunity to acquire him on the cheap.
August 7, 20197 yr Decent K rate. Horrendous walk and HR rates. And of course, the Twins don’t get first pick anyway. But I would pass. I don’t think he’s better than internal options.
August 7, 20197 yr Really extreme home/road splits for him this season - isn't Arizona still a hitter's park? Just SSS I guess. But his road numbers don't give much encouragement that he'll do well for his next team.

But his road numbers don't give much encouragement that he'll do well for his next team.For roughly a half season of relief pitching, I'd guess home/road splits are pretty meaningless. He had 4 games with multiple runs allowed this year, and all 4 came on the road. All four were night games, on grass* too. I don't know that those splits would have much predictive power. * No, not that kind of grass!

But whatever little meaning I can see there doesn't tilt toward acquiring him, was the point I was driving at.
August 7, 20197 yr Small samples can't contain much meaning. But whatever little meaning I can see there doesn't tilt toward acquiring him, was the point I was driving at.At that point, though, you're pretty much just doing the same thing as looking at his overall numbers for 2019, which aren't that impressive.
August 7, 20197 yr No. He's spent, cooked, over the hill. IDK what's his stuff look like? He bringing 96 with a hammer breaking ball? Cause if he's not, he isn't worth it.
August 14, 20197 yr How does one kick tires on a moving vehicle?incredibly good timing.... depending of course on how fast the vehicle is moving.
August 14, 20197 yr We got Dyson and Romo. Two of Holland-types, already. Don't need a third. Not really Holland types, though.
