Giants To Sign Nick Vincent

By Jeff Todd | January 31, 2020 at 12:02pm CDT

The Giants have agreed to terms with veteran reliever Nick Vincent, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com (via Twitter). It’s a minors deal with a spring invite.

Vincent opened the 2019 season in San Francisco but struggled before being cut loose. He ended up turning in 14 good innings down the stretch with the Phillies, though, running up a 17:4 K/BB ratio and allowing just three earned runs.

Now an eight-year MLB veteran, the 33-year-old has compiled quite an impressive track record. Through 376 2/3 career innings, the soft-tossing Vincent carries a 3.32 ERA. While teams haven’t been willing to stake much on a continuation of that performance level, he’s certainly a nice player to have on hand for this level of commitment.

    JMO, I think a Matt Boyd trade makes sense for Philly.

      Depends on the price. I agree it makes sense but they can’t afford to give up a ton. The farm is pretty weak as is

    I have seen a ton of ex-phillies pitchers finding new homes this off-season like Eickhoff, Vincent, and J. Rodriguez. Coincidence?

      Tough ballpark to pitch in.

    If he makes the team out of spring training then Zaidi has worsened this team.

      He’s a reliever that hit a bump in the road last year. It happens. Before his struggles, I remember him stopping the fires started by starting pitching all through April and may.

        I like Vincent but hes a LOOGY correct? And this year aren’t relievers requires to face 3 hitters minimum? Could hurt Vincent Id think

      Disregard my previous statement … Hes a righty … Not sure why but ive always thought he was a lefty … sorry for the dumb post … though the 3 hitter aspect could still hold true

      He took the team from the second overall pick to fighting for a playoff spot at the trade deadline last year with scraps and aging veterans. He’s drafted well and has proven more than once that his system works. He helped build the Dodgers into what they are now, notwithstanding their WS struggles. Need to give him time, imo.

    He was used as a multi-inning pitcher with the Giants mostly. He was also the only opener they had all season I believe.

      Was actually very solid for the giants in about 25 innings, mid 2s ERA and then the giants had him start as an opener for one game. Gave up like 3 or 4 runs in the 1st inning and made about 3 or 4 more starts where he got shelled and then injured. Pitched solid for the Phillies after the move. Good chance to make the team and get some good innings in a inexperienced bullpen which the Giants sorely need.

      Lifetime he faces 4 batters per game on average. Slightly under 1 inning per game.

    He struggled mightily in 2019 before going to the Phillies, but if he can pitch closer to his usual stats rather than his initial 2019 statistics, this could be a good signing.

      He actually pitched very well with the Giants in his first 25 innings. Mid 2 ERA, then he got rocked in his last 3 or 4 appearances before picking it back up with the Phillies

      He’s not a closer. He doesn’t have that in him. But he can give quality innings. The closer role probably won’t be established till after the season. The Giants have some young arms that fit that mold. Coonrod, selman, and if or when he comes back, moronta can be that guy.
