Carter Capps MILB stats

Uhhhh

[tjfla]

and the dark horse team gets him

Not a bad haul tho in Capps who they like alot. He was 1 of the names they liked in last year's what will it take for Stanton offer from Seattle.

I'm glad they they opted to get a potential high-leverage reliever instead of a 3B with no upside. Maybe they can sign Uribe or another veteran stopgap for 3B.

Still don't see how Jones + Capps is better than Lomo + some extra money but whatever

Great informative post: http://www.ussmariner.com/2013/08/08...rget-about-it/

[Miamarlin21]

He has good minor league numbers and a good strikeout to innings ratio.

[Big Z]

Ok.. So who plays 3B again?

[Mainge]

Solano/Dietrich

This is horrible. He's 23 but his line is not good at all. I wouldn't want this coming out of our pen:

59 innings, 73 hits, 37 runs, 12 HRs, 23
BBs, 1.627 WHIP

What???
--------------------
That's his 2013 line

[Big Z]

Is this really the best we could get for LoMo? Seems like a terrible return at first instance.

[BigGameFish]

There are better relief pitchers in the FA market

Signing Jones must've really hurt our bargaining power

To be fair, LoMo has been a terrible player.

No, Morrison just isn't good.

The fact that Logan Morrison is a bad baseball player hurt their 'bargaining power'.
