Yes Blair

I don't mind sharing rondo

Blair came to Atlanta in the Shelby Miller deal, a trade that made no sense on its face but even less when you consider that Blair is already a major league-ready starter, and a big strike-thrower who posted a 3.16 ERA in half a year in hitter-friendly Reno. Blair should spend much, if not all, of 2016 in Atlanta's rotation; he already has shown he can dominate Triple-A hitters, generating ground balls thanks to the heavy sink on his low-90s fastball and missing bats with a plus changeup. He's still developing a curveball that will at least show average a few times per outing.

Blair missed bats in the low minors, but better hitters managed to put the ball in play against him in 2015 -- but usually on the ground (52 percent of the time, per MLBfarm.com research). That and his ability to limit walks is already a good formula for a fourth or even a No. 3 starter, and if Blair can continue to improve his curveball, which is already up at least a full grade since he signed, he has a chance to become an above-average starter capable of handling 210-220 innings a year.

Contreras at 27
Newcomb At 30
Alford at 52
Zimmer at 94 (was 25 last year)

Don't have problem trading them all

Yordano plus two top prospects was a pretty fair deal for a 40 year old pitcher.

Crushed: Aaron Altherr just hit one up to Main Street jn Dunedin, where Delco's is located. Great cheesesteaks and hoagies





quote:

When Altherr did make contact, though, he did damage. Against both fastballs and breaking pitches, according to PITCHf/x, his exit velocity - that is, the speed at which the baseball left his bat - was well above average, exceeding 92 mph. Twenty of his 33 hits went for extra bases, including five home runs, and his on-base-plus-slugging percentage last season was .827, the third-highest on the club. He had a double, a home run, and three RBIs in his first start, Aug. 19 against the Blue Jays, and he delivered arguably the most memorable moment of the Phillies' season: an inside-the-park grand slam against the Nationals on Sept. 25.

you missed this part in the Altherr article

quote:


Over his 166 plate appearances with the Phillies - five of which came at the end of the 2014 season - Altherr has hit just .232 with 43 strikeouts, meaning he has struck out more than 25 percent of the time he has stepped into the batter's box. Brooks Baseball's PITCHf/x tool, an algorithm that tracks how hitters fare against certain types of pitches, revealed that Altherr was particularly susceptible to off-speed stuff. He was "exceptionally aggressive" against such pitches but had a "disastrously high likelihood" to miss them when he swung at them, posting a "whiff rate" of 55 percent.

because it's pretty irrelevant, big swam


Nelson Cruz
Catellanos
Duda
Jupton
Belt
Byrd
JD Martinez
Howard
Moss
Michael Taylor
Addy Russell
Joc
Desmond
Kris Bryant
Chris Davis

17 guys K'd more than 25% of the time last year, the only irrelevant fantasy guys were anthony gose and chris ownings (who coincidentally lack the POP)

Ton more good players who K'd between 20-25%
