Mane rangers got a scary bullpen

Minor league deal? Kind of shocked.

Thought the exact same thing

Looks like a pretty good pickup.

Freeman is still in the bullpen, as well.
No Soup For Yu!
Good God not him! His peripherals were pretty unsightly (5.9 BB/9, 4.60 FIP, 4.43 xFIP). He about gave me a heart attack every time he took the mound with all those walks.

Minors deal? Very Surprising. On the other hand, the Braves got Kyle Kendrick and Alex Torres on minors deals, and Torres and Ramos are comparable. Still surprising none-the-less

He is so underrated
No Soup For Yu!
Is there something I’m missing here? Why would the Angels even non tender him? Sure, his 0.3 HR/9 last year seems unsustainable, but his 0.7 HR/9 for his career is solid, and his 3.79 xFIP and his 3.56 SIERA last year should be worth at least $1.7 million. Nice pickup by the Rangers. I think he has stands a very strong chance of making the pen out of spring as the Rangers’ second lefty behind Diekman.

.265 BAA against lefties is troublesome

Sounds like Ross Detweiler 2.0. But….It’s a minor league deal so it’s not a big deal if he doesn’t show much in AZ. Right now, it’s Diekman & Freeman as the LHP’s coming out of the pen.
No Soup For Yu!
And I don’t think anyone wants to see Freeman warming up in thr Rangers bullpen. Unless of course you’re the opposing team.

Freeman had a couple bad outings in May…..but pitched very well the rest of the year. He had a 3.05 ERA overall ….like 2.50 in all his other appearances if you exclude those two bad games and did not give up a run in 44 of 54 appearances. I’ll take that! His control is a concern, though. 25 walks in 38 innings is not good no matter how you try and slice the numbers.
