Around MLB 2016 style

FIP and xFIP at 3.30 and 3.17, very similar to his 2014 season.

At the same time we have to recognize that the FO has a yuge knowledge base that dwarfs anything that we fans work with.

Avg velocity on his fastball is at 90.3 so far compared to 89.3 and 89.8 the previous two yeas. Will be interested to see if this drops over the course of the year.

But Olivera is going to bring much needed power to this offense and hold down third for the next 5 years. I know this because the front office told us how they did their homework on Olivera and are certain he'll be a star.
 
Man Woody would have been a really good lefty option in a rotation that looks like it's gonna be righty dominant unless Newcomb ever figures out how to pitch.

I think we got decent value considering LA took on a lot of Olivera's contract but he sucks so it's moot. Essentially just donated one of our top prospects and a good lefty for broken elbow and domestic violence.

We better get the next Trout with the draft pick.
 
That's not shocking for Wood. We have seen it before. He has also really struggled before. I don't think he is this good obviously, nor is he Cole Hamels. Middling lefty starter ? Probably

We have to make the pitch to the Reds that Neck could double, triple, maybe even quadruple his homerun total in a batters box like Cincy.

In a a bandbox park like Philadelphia or Cincy, Neck could be a legit 7-8 homer guy.

2.6 WAR in 2014 and 2015...on pace for about 3-3.5 this year. Not Cole Hamels. But not middling either.
