August 26, 20241 yr Tommy Pham is 3-for-32 over several games for St. Looie. Fedde pitched well today in a victory. Do you think Fedde has 5 years left in him? Is Pham going the Abreu route? Release him soon?
August 27, 20241 yr Erick Fedde, RHP, Cardinals Projected: 1.4 fWAR, 4.86 ERA Actual: 2.7 fWAR, 3.39 ERA In March, Fedde was a former first-round pick with a career 5.41 ERA who had just returned from a successful KBO season (20-6, 2.00 ERA, 0.95 WHIP.) What was going to come of his shot-in-the-dark two-year deal with the White Sox was a complete question mark. He returned to MLB critically having swapped his curveball, against which he allowed a .504 slugging percentage in 2022, for a sweeper (.148 BA, .296 SLG entering Monday), and with a newfound ability to limit his baserunners. 2017-22 vs. 2024 Hard-hit rate: 42.5% -> 36.2% WHIP: 1.52 -> 1.18 BB/9: 3.8 -> 2.6 Despite ZiPS overshooting his actual K/9 rate, projecting 8.7 strikeouts per nine innings (he's at 7.7), Fedde's proven to be one of the best chances any team took last offseason.

September 30, 20241 yr Dude went 7-4 for the 2024 White Sox. That’s flipping impressive. I bet he’s a solid or better major leaguer to close to 40.
