RHP - Jimmy Cordero - another Dipoto "find" signed

[rockycola]

Seattle claimed the 26 year old relief pitcher today.
Blue Jays DFA'd him May 23rd. Blue Jays signed him on May 15th after the Nationals DFA'd him.
He will report to Tacoma if he doesn't get waived.

Cordero will report to Triple-A Tacoma with his new organization, though maybe he shouldn’t get too comfortable. The Jays just claimed Cordero off waivers from the Nationals on May 15, only to designate him May 23. Interestingly enough, Toronto jettisoned Cordero to grab lefty Zac Rosscup off waivers from his new team, the Mariners.

The 27-year-old Cordero debuted in the majors with the Nationals last season, when he threw 19 innings out of their bullpen. He added another 1 1/3 with the Blue Jays before they cut him. Between the two teams, Cordero has pitched to a 5.75 ERA/5.96 FIP with matching strikeout and walk rates of 5.31 per nine and a strong groundball percentage (53.4). The hard-throwing Cordero has been better at the Triple-A level, where he owns a 3.41 ERA with 10.4 K/9 and 4.7 BB/9 over 63 1/3 frames.

Not a big deal at all but when JD signs minor league filler from the city dump maybe just post it in the minor league update thread instead of creating a new one. Up to you though.

Not a minor league junk when he's on the 40 man roster.

He is a major league junk.

He has a 6.00 ERA AAA this season. He will likely be on the 40 man about as long as an elephant balancing on the top of a flag pole.

10.20 K/9 innings...difficulty throwing strikes, right up the Mariners alley to fix...

So they add him to the roster just to hope he passes through waivers a few days later? I guess when your AAA pitching is that bad you do what you can.

“Jimmy Cordero” is such a cool name. Better than Sadsack. Too bad he can’t pitch.
