I just realized I traded Volquez for Hamilton in my fantasy league! (Granted, I also rec'd Stephen Drew & Soria, & the other guy got Mauer & Khalil Greene, but still.)
Pedro ... Height 5' 11", Weight 170 lb.
more like big Pedro.
95, 75, 112, 105, 104, 100, 118, 110
He's 24, and he threw 175 innings last year. While Baker's past record is not good, very little in how he's used Volquez so far looks troubling to me.
Yeah, that's the example I was citing in #2. He had 90-something pitches through 6 IP (4 hits and 4 walks), the Reds were up 9, and yet Dusty trots him out there to chuck another 20 pitches (most likely because the pitcher's spot was first up in the next inning)? It's with these sort of dimwitted moves that Dusty earns his less-than-favorable reputation.
It doesn't seem like a bad spot to let your pitcher build up their arm endurance in a low leverage situation. If you never let your pitcher go past 100 pitches you create six inning pitcher. If you're going to train your pitchers to go deep into games, I would rather my young pitcher throw 118 pitches in a 9-0 blow out than a one-run game where they're going to put maximum effort into every single pitch.
Another fun thread, revisited
You'll be thrilled to know I drafted Maine AND Pedro. Maine's finally paying off, even if his WHIP is still above acceptable levels.
