I've also mentioned before how Fister had a 3.60 ERA on the season before September. Guy was pitching like a really good #3 until he collapsed. Locke lost his starting job this year. They're both flawed but Fister comes across as far more likely to succeed.Last edited by dim; 12-15-2016, 03:28 PM.

Originally posted by fauowls44 View PostTazawa (and potentially Ziegler) fits what Mattingly was saying during the winter meetings that they want guys out of the pen that offer a different look than the power arms they already have.
One note is Since 2013, Tazawa has made 256 appearances, fourth-most among American League relievers after Bryan Shaw (299), Cody Allen (290) and Kelvin Herrera (273).
They don't plan on him pitching every night-more of a matchup type guy who can help in the 8th
Still in on Ziegler(Favorite $ Wise too) and if he passes Feliz is next up. They still want to add another RP arm,SP if the prices come down and a power batLast edited by tjfla; 12-16-2016, 08:48 AM.

The sticking point on Ziegler is years. He wants 3 years and teams have been offering 2. We have the high $ total on him(like we did others)
For the Hammel/Fister camp it looks like our SP target is Joe Blanton. More as Phelps type(SP,Long Guy,Closer) last year than SP thoLast edited by tjfla; 12-16-2016, 11:36 AM.

Looks like Ziegler is close-us,NY and a mystery team. Our offer as of yesterday was 2 yr plus team option. Ziegler wants 3 years
Besides Ziegler being effective-the FO and Mattingly love the idea of having teams see 97-100 and then Ziegler at 84. That plus like Tazawa he is a groundball pitcher
