So happy we didn't waste a single penny on this guy...

Add him in with the Jake Arrietta and Alex Cobb's of the world. So many fans want a splash and so often the splash soaks your organization so much it drowns.

He’s pitching hurt. The really good ones, like him, don’t typically lose it over night at 30 years old. Just last year he was a horse for a Giants. 34 starts averaging 6+ innings per start, 8.8 k/9 and a k:bb ratio of 4:1.

 

That being said, given he got 5 years/85 million in also glad he’s not a brewer at that price.

Guy's who've been ridden hard for a decade fall pretty quickly. His last two years in SF, while still really good, were not up to the standards of the rest of his career. I don't think he's done being a useful pitcher but he's probably a mid rotation guy with some occasional flashes of dominance from here on out.
