My goodness that’s quite a bump.

[Outlander]

Bumped seven years to the day. Lots of bad luck for Banda, hopefully he can turn things around and stick somewhere.

just a reminder that you can never have enough pitching prospects. Boy.... Eveland, Banda, Inman, Braddock, Odorizzi, Sarfate, etc were all crowd favorites. Only one ever did anything.

Dennis Sarfate. Dude struck out a lot of batters in the 100-ish innings he pitched in MLB ball. Problem is, he walked a LOT of batters as well.

Admit I loved Braddock as a back end reliever. To be fair, he showed promise. I never understood what happened with him. Fell off a cliff.

He had some anxiety and emotional issues. The last I had heard on here, he was sadly broke and living out of his car.

 

He's exactly the kind of guy that I point to when people ask why people like Freddy Peralta would lock in a lower team friendly deal that sets himself up for life rather than go for the big money. Zack Braddock is why.

Might see Banda again very soon……
