Even with his shit 2019, he's been arguably better than all of Oswalt, Gagnon, Lockett, Flexen, Santiago, Pounders and maybe Familia, Bashlor, Avilan, and the excellently dressed Chris Mazza, too. May not be worth doing backflips over, but he costs relatively nothing and could be a great pickup in an area that severely needs help. It's like something a smart team would do. Good gumdrops indeed.

Brad Brach deserves his own thread

[A Boy Named Seo]

Please, Mr. Admin, do the thing.

He's been unlucky in runners scoring, his LOB% is way below norms.



But hecan't control his slider. It's all over the place. His BB% on his slider is up 500% over the last two years.

[Frayed Knot]

He had a 1.52 ERA/1.31 WHIP in his two month stint w/the Braves last season [27 games, 23.2 IP] following his July 30th trade from the O's ... which likely proves nothing more than how variable relievers can

be, especially when SSS data is involved.



Is from Freehold NJ and Monmouth U

Sure. not knocking it. Just not sure if we're getting star brites or spice drops.

[Centerfield]

If his slider has been the problem, and if the ball is different in the second half, as I've been speculating, then this could be potentially great for us.

Straight outta Freehold, NJ, which is a nice, small addition to the local-boy-good-vibes thing we've got going here.



That said, bringing another wormkiller with a walk problem (albeit with a 10-plus K/9 FM figure this year) to pitch in front of this defense may mark this as less of a savior-to-rise-from-these-streets move and more of a death trap/suicide rap. Old Man Regan: do your dew.
