Diaz dip in velocity

Post by ice99 » Thu May 16, 2019 4:28 am

Diaz saw a slight loss of velocity from 97.3mph to 96.3mph. The article also covers other relievers. I could see the M's targeting one of the "core performers".

M's destroyed the Mets in that trade in my opinion.

Just getting rid of the cheater and his crazy contract made it a success!

A-hole Sells Out his Team!

Walks out ground balls, blows bubbles in the batter’s box, I can just see Mickey Mantle doing that, Not!

Man not just his velo but all of his traditional stats are off this season. We definitely traded him at his peak value.

If the two prospects work out well, the deal is a great one!

From your cbssports article:

We know five things for certain about Cano:

1.) He is now 36, which is an age where age-related decline often sets in.
2.) He is swinging and missing this season more than ever.
3.) When he does make contact, it hasn't been quite as solid as the last few years.
4.) He served a performance-enhancing drug suspension last year.
5.) He changed leagues over the winter, which requires some level of adjustment, even if he is playing in a familiar city.

How much is each of those things contributing to his poor performance to date? It's difficult to say exactly, though chances are they are all contributing in some way. There's not one big problem, it's several smaller problems adding up, you know? Second base is a demanding position and Cano has played a lot of baseball over the years -- he averaged 159 games played from 2007-17 -- and it takes a physical toll. All that wear and tear may be manifesting itself now.
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

We won this trade hands down just by shedding the Cano contract. Regardless of how Diaz turns out. And even if Kelenic turns out to be Jeremy Reed 2.0.
As a body we are alone, as a soul never.
