September 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:46 PM) Well, you have proof of sorts that Jones would be a fine closer. I guess I'm going to have to see it to believe it in terms of racking up dozens of saves like Reed does. Nice stats, though. Addison Reed has 31 saves. I know we are only looking at advanced stats, but cmon. Petricka ain't a 31-save guy. I'll give you he's probably the best option in our crud bullpen though. Based on their stats, if Reed is a 31 save guy, Petricka is a 40 save guy.

September 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 02:44 AM) There has been a couple of posts earlier about Reed being old. People might be a little shocked to know Petricka is actually older than Reed by a few months. Reed is still 25. Where was the term "old" used?

Wade Davis only has 3 saves this year, what a lousy reliever. Don't even get me started on Dellin Betances in NY, only 1 save???
September 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 03:11 AM) Is anybody THAT high on Petricka? I mean he might be the best of our rotten bullpen and I wish him the best but is he a great prospect? No I don't think anyone is that high on Petricka. He's very similar to what Reed gave the White Sox though. If Hahn turned around this offseason and traded Petricka for a position player prospect, that was highly regarded with 6 years of control attached, everyone would like that deal too.
September 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) I thought Reed had 30 saves?? Petricka is lousy. Thank you for well thought out and reasoned response. Here is my rebuttal. Addison Reed is lousy. Thank you again.

At least until hindsight kicked in.
