Sanchez DFA'd Discuss. Pick up Eduardo Sanchez now. I know notbing about him, other than a 1.80 ERA as a 22 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 11, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) Cubs were number #2 on the waiver order so that would Miami passed and that was it. Supposedly Alec Antoupolus and Theo Epstein are major proponents of claiming as many players as possible. He wouldn't have gotten past Miami. Cheap, pen arms that throw 100 MPH don't last long on the waiver wire. The Cubs just outright acquired him from the Nats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 On his first two pitches as a Cub, Henry Rodriguez first hit the umpire, then Carlos Beltran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea of regression, because Nate Jones is probably about a 3.00-3.50 ERA pitcher with about a 1.2-1.3 WHIP who gets by based off of electric stuff. Based on his overall numbers, he's expected to come back to earth from that 1.38 ERA but he's also expected to keep it up, because he's not a 5.00 ERA pitcher. As a result, he's both pitching normally AND over his head at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People see a 3.00 ERA pitcher and expect him to give up precisely 3 runs during each 9 inning set that he pitches, when that's just not true. All sports (probably all performances in general) are made up of hot streaks and cold streaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his stuff, he is much closer to this Nate Jones, versus the April and May one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 DFAed by the Cubs. They used him twice since June 23rd. I watched him pitch Wednesday night, awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
