Astros rotation http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , I stumbled across Gio Gonzalez. I know the initial reaction to a 4.21 ERA pitcher last year may not scream like an ideal signing,..."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Houston Astros NewsGame ThreadsHouston Astros Minor LeaguesAstros Game DayPodcastsShould the Astros sign Gio Gonzalez?New,39comments3 or so years ago.SummaryGonzalez is not an ace, nor does he need to be for our rotation. His days 3.22 ERA that he achieved from 2010-2014 are over, looking more like a high 3’s pitcher to me. That’s not an exciting signing to a lot of people, but I believe provides a similar value to what Dallas Keuchel provided for us last year, and a point of interest is that there were only 38 pitchers who pitched the qualified number of innings (162 IP) with an ERA under 4.The proposed contract of 2/$24 Million would not break the bank, and would provide the reliable veteran experience and assumingly the predictable performance that would be beneficial to round out a rotation and provide us some redundancy as we look at the rotation. Overall, I do think that 2/$24 is a tad high considering his recent and projected performance, not meeting the $/WAR figure, but I do believe there is a significant improvement possible for Gonzalez with some of Strom’s tutelage – removing the sinker as a primary component. Would I do it? Well I’m still a believer that we don’t NEED another starter, but in many ways, Gio Gonzalez provides us with an option that does not mortgage the future. $12 Million per year is a significant amount of money Garrett Richards Jersey , but with the consistency of Gio’s past performances I would feel more comfortable with him than a lot of the other players that have been rumored. The suggested 2 year contract seems amicable for both sides, somewhat limiting our risks on an aging pitcher, as well as providing additional rotation depth as we look at potential departures after next year. I am not as big of a proponent of the Lefty / Righty starter as many others, but Gonzalez being a lefty is an item of importance to a lot of people. He would replace the void left by Keuchel’s (potential) departure, and I believe provide a similar value at a significantly lower price. What do you think? Would you want the Astros to pursue signing Gio? What would you offer him contract wise if so? Tell me your predictions for performance in 2019. WASHINGTON (AP) — Three years ago, Matt Adams‘ dad initiated a holiday tradition with his slugging son: No matter where Adams was playing, he would be in the stadium on Father’s Day.Jamie Adams got a big payoff for his roughly three-hour drive from Pennsylvania this year.Matt Adams homered twice and drove in a career-high seven runs, Anibal Sanchez got his 100th career victory, and the Washington Nationals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 15-5 on Sunday to split their four-game series.Article continues below ...Adams, Anthony Rendon and Kurt Suzuki homered off Arizona reliever Zack Godley, and Adams added a grand slam against Stefan Crichton in the eighth. Adams tied a career best with two long drives and has nine career multihomer games.“It’s something special to be able to have a game like this, career-high RBIs and to be able to have him in the stands,” Adams said.Adam Eaton had three hits and two walks for Washington http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , which piled up 15 hits while matching its season scoring high.Arizona went 7-3 on its three-city road trip but allowed its most runs since an 18-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 30.“It was just a dud of a game,” manager Torey Lovullo said.Sanchez (3-6) pitched six innings, allowing two runs and six hits while striking out three. He is 3-0 with a 1.54 ERA over four starts since returning from the injured list May 29. The 35-year-old is the second Nationals pitcher to reach 100 wins this month. Stephen Strasburg earned his 100th victory on June 4.“Why not? Make your 100 on that kind of special day,” said Sanchez, whose two children were in attendance. “But 100, that’s special any day.”Washington scored three runs in the first against Archie Bradley (2-4), with Howie Kendrick hitting a bases-loaded single and Suzuki following with a two-run single two batters later. Eaton chased Bradley, who made his first start since Oct. 1, 2016, with a one-out RBI single in the second.“There’s been a lot of times this year giving up runs when I had no clue where the ball was going — I didn’t feel confident, I didn’t feel good.” Bradley said. “(Today) I stood on the mound and I threw the ball where I wanted to. I saw the pitches I wanted to throw. They kind of hit them today. It wasn’t necessarily like I got crushed. They just hit them where we weren’t, and I kind of put us in a hole early.”MARTE’S PARTYArizona OF Ketel Marte hit a solo shot in the first, his third homer in two days and 20th of the season Huston Street Jersey , as part of a three-hit game. He hit .372 (16 of 43) with six homers and 7 RBIs on the Diamondbacks’ trip.“He’s playing at an All-Star pace,” Lovullo said. “I hope he gets strong consideration. The game is on national TV yesterday and the world saw somebody do something pretty special. He’s a good player. Like I keep saying over and over, we’re getting a chance to watch him every single day and the rest of the country needs to pay attention to what’s going on here.”SUZUKI EXITSSuzuki exited in the seventh with a neck injury when Tanner Rainey’s pitch bounced in the dirt and hit the catcher. “The doctor said he is fine,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “He is in there now, and he said he is fine. But it was kind of scary when he got lightheaded and couldn’t walk back to the dugout.”TRAINER’S ROOMDiamondbacks: Lovullo said C Alex Avila will be shut down for “a couple of weeks” after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 strain of his left calf. … INF Jake Lamb (strained left quadriceps) hit a two-run homer Saturday for Triple-A Reno. Lamb is hitting .263 with a home run and six RBIs in six games on his rehabilitation assignment.Nationals: Washington placed RHP Kyle Barraclough (right radial nerve irritation) on the 10-day injured list. He is 1-2 with a 6.39 ERA in 32 relief appearances. INF Adrian Sanchez was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg, giving the Nationals a five-man bench.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: Arizona is off Monday. RHP Merrill Kelly (7-6, 3.73 ERA) starts against Colorado on Tuesday as the Diamondbacks begin a nine-game homestand against NL West opponents.Nationals: LHP Patrick Corbin (5-5, 4.11), who is 0-3 with an 11.37 ERA over his last three starts, gets the nod Monday as Philadelphia arrives for the opener of a four-game series. |
