I'm sure we'll do it again. Wish I could have stuck around to watch the game. But instead I got a bunt single and scored a run off a former KBO league pitcher

N: In ten starts, Zimmerman has only recorded two quality starts. V: Should have stuck with Pelfry after all  E: is Al Avila just remarkably unlucky or remarkably bad as a GM? Zimmerman, Pelfry, Lowe, K-Rod, Neftali Feliz... Everything he's touched either was poo poo or turned to poo poo. The King Midas of poo poo. E2: between Sanchez, Zimmerman, Pelfry, Lowe, and K-Rod, Tigers are paying $53 million for poo poo tier pitching. The Brewers' opening day payroll was $63 million.

Comptroll The Forums posted:N: In ten starts, Zimmerman has only recorded two quality starts. June is going to be super interesting because the Tigers are garbage and there's no Dombrowski around to spin poo poo into gold. If Avila can't get good returns for at least JD Martinez then oh boy are the Tigers going to suck for the next 3-4 seasons.

Comptroll The Forums posted:N: In ten starts, Zimmerman has only recorded two quality starts. Sanchez and K-Rod both had (reasonably) effective seasons for the Tigers before falling off a cliff and Zimmermann was a highly valued FA when they signed him, so I'd say the problem is more likely to be in the coaching staff rather than the front office - someone's made an adjustment which has hosed them up and now they can't unfuck themselves. The Pelfrey signing is squarely on Avila though, he's always been terrible and I don't understand why any team would sign him unless they needed someone to get things off high shelves and couldn't find the stepladder.

The problem is probably more along the lines of 30 something pitchers with ok stuff tend to fall off cliffs.

I had to laugh during the Cubs game yesterday when they were talking about running into Scott Boras while in Los Angeles and how he went on this huge rant about how Jake Arrieta is still an elite pitcher. Um, Scott, I know your job is to get the most value for your client, and you're very good at this, but his arm's been dead for the better part of a year.

K-rod has had declining velocity for seasons now and he had gotten by adjusting his approach to be more deceptive. Now his velocity has declined to the point where it's robbing his pitches if movement and he just can't fool people. He should retire.

Jesus, I had forgotten he's been in the majors for sixteen years. And yeah, I just took a glance at his peripherals since 2011, and holy poo poo, they range from "hey, that's still pretty good" to

I mean if you're Arrieta what else are you supposed to say? "Yeah I'm not as good as I was when I won the Cy Young so I guess I should only get a 3/60 deal."

Oh, I don't blame him for making those comments, and like I said, Boras is just doing his job, which is to get his clients as much money as possible (I continue to insist that Boras has been the biggest boon to players since Marvin Miller), I just have a hard time imagining any team being willing to fork out 7 / 210 for a guy who had one and a half great years and now is pitching worse than he ever did in Baltimore.

Arrieta is still better than he was with Baltimore. He had a solid season last year that only looked bad relative to 2015. I still contend that Arrieta is a better pitcher than his current numbers, not 7/210 better. But he should do fine in FA.

Even if he continues to absolutely poo poo the bed for the rest of the season, some team is still going to take a gamble and sign him to big money on the hope he'll recapture his absurd 2015 form.
