Yankees crapped the bed on that trade.

Pretty sad that the guy they spent $126 million on can’t even get a mention in the improving offense note.

gotta love the werth hate comments
soxxxxx
remember the time he gave up four home runs in a row…
Vmmercan
Remember the time his name was Chase Wright?

He’s getting his “Yankee prospects that the Yanks had on a short leash and gave up on too quickly” confused. Clippard, Melancon, Kennedy…

i wouldn’t say they gave up on Kennedy too quickly. The man just recovered from an aneurism-removal surgery. Plus, he was involved in acquiring Granderson.

That guy is a thorn in the marlins side.
Guest 5424
really can’t say the yanks screwed up….didn’t he start and you gotta remember the nats converted him to set-up man…..that was a lucky trade by the nats, and im a nats fan and say it was a good piece of luck
Guest 5422
though give them credit for thinking to convert him and grooming him well in it
Guest 5418
yup….they figured it out….that is an example of how one teams trash is anothers treasure

Yeah but the thing is, he was such a great looking pitching prospect as a starter, he struggled in 07 at age 22 @ AAA and they simply gave him away for a middling relief pitcher. Never a good trade. We could afford to trade guys like him and McAlister because we had so many guys that passed them on the depth chart but still….never a smart thing to do in theory. Good for him and others for figuring it out.
Guest 5417
i would chalk it up to getting lucky on happy hour…just an opinion bro

abaladejo was lights out in the minors… last year as a yankee prospect he led all AAA in relief pitching stats. abaladejo could not translate his minor league success to the mlb. Thus, in hindsight it is easy to say the yanks made a mistake with clippard.

Clippard is definitely an important piece in the young core the Nationals have right now

Clippard has made himself into a top quality set up man, the Nats will take care of him.

I think Clippard and J. Zimmermann are two guys the Nats should extend.

Buyer beware:
2010
ERA, FIP, xFIP, BABIP
3.07, 3.18, 3.64, .284
2011
1.83, 3.17, 3.20, .197
He had an unsustainably low BABIP that led to a low ERA in 2011. His 2010 is closer to what you can expect from him, he’s ok, but nothing spectacular and nothing to “lock down”. The Nats would be best to trade him to a GM who doesnt pay attention to stats like these and only cares about ERA.
hallwagner
other side of that is he really doesn’t even put that many balls into play, considering his well above average strikeout rate
Michael Szul
His 2010 numbers actually are slightly inflated because of a few bad innings late in the season. He was sub-3.00 for the majority of 2010. Clippard has been their best reliever for two straight seasons. He is consistently called upon in clutch situations to close out tough innings and has been utilized as a multi-inning setup man. Stats like these never tell the whole story.
