You see the market for pitching this year?
This is a lot more reasonable than I thought. Contrast that to 5/$80 he gave the righty version of Matz in Mike Leake.
I think they could coax a few 2.5-3 WAR season out of him and about a 3.7 ERA over 165 IP. That’s not a bad return on that investment.
The IPs are what concerns me most. I really don’t understand how a pitcher with his profile can’t average 6 IP/start.
