Read MoreYankees 2023 Rotation vs. Astros (Since 2017)
 |
I wanted to see how the new “best rotation in baseball” has stacked up against the Astros since 2017. Obviously our squad has changed over the years but the bulk of the playoff stats have come from 2020-2021 where our squad is essentially the same. Note that the IP are represented as (0.1IP=0.33, 0.2IP=0.66) to calculate ERA correctly. It’s also important to note that Rodon had a career high 178IP last season and has had a history of health issues. Cortes also had a career high 158IP last season and plans to pitch in the WBC before the season. He was obviously fatigued come October and I don’t expect him to have the same level of success in 2023 that he showed this year. I expect a bit of regression. submitted by /u/Sacagawesus |
Should we take a deep look at Carlos Santana?
Surface level, his 2022 was not very good. However, a deeper dive reveals he might have some huge upside for 2023:
– He sported a BB% of 14% which was good for 5th best league wide.
– His K% was only 17% which is good for 46th in all MLB but 2% below league average
– His hard hit % and Contact % were both well above league average at 35.10% and 80.50% respectively
– He posted the 6th best OAA for 1B all year
All of this combined with the ban of the shift in 2023 make Santana an intriguing target for us if the other top 1B FA are too expensive. I fully expect his BA just see a sharp increase because of this and his batted ball data shows he will trend upward when not facing the shift as a lefty.
All in all, I think Santana deserves some serious consideration if we can’t get Bell or Abreu. Of course, all of this is assuming Yuli is not our starting1B which I can’t imagine he will be. Thoughts?

Read MorePitching matchup for G2
We got Framber Valdez and Luis Severino battling it out in G2. Regular season stats for both guys: Valdez 6IP, 2H, 3ER, 3BB, 7K (Framber gave up a BB to DJ, Single to Judge, HR to Stanton in the 1st. Then pitches 5 no hit innings) Severino 12IP, 8H, 5E…
Read MoreRevisiting the Odo trade
Jake Odorizzi for ATL since trade
29.0IP, 4.97ERA, 84ERA+, 4.75SIERA, 5.87FIP, 1.552WHIP
Will Smith for HOU since trade
15.1IP, 2.35ERA, 168ERA+, 3.29SIERA, 3.44FIP, 1.174WHIP
Small sample for Smith so far but in his role with us, he has been MUCH better than he was in ATL. For a trade that essentially helped us get rid of a back end rotation piece who no longer fit on the team, I’d say this was a big win for us.
