Welp, there’s now a guy who was in the top 10 AL Cy Young voting in 2015, one season ago, on the FA market, in a FA market with many top-tier teams looking for relievers.
Oh yeah, he was awful in 2o16 do to an unsustainable BABIP, so, there’s that(???).
Next to Thames, Tolleson is now my fave sleeper FA pick.

Tolly should have been the 6th-7th inning guy. Slowest mph in the pen. Hard to come in at 93 after 97 -100. Looks like a basketball floating up. Lost his confidence and focus complicated with other personal issues.

Pitch velocity has to be the most overrated skill in the game today. Without the ability to locate and change speeds, velocity is meaningless. A pitcher (as opposed to a thrower) can get away without much of the latter if he’s got the former.

Changing speeds is kind of a lost art these days.

Sure is, especially for relievers. They are all expect to break brick walls but not necessarily to be able to actually hit one.
