Marcus Stroman
NEW YORK METS SP
Stroman showed no rust after opting out of the 2020 season. Instead, he started 33 times (matching a career-high) while posting his best quality-of-contact and whiff rate in years. Stroman seemingly made two adjustments. First, he started to pitch inside more frequently with an arsenal that drips with seam-shifted wake; second, he added a splitter, giving him another weapon to deploy versus lefties and righties alike. Stroman's split has a Gausmanian movement profile, though it doesn't have the utility to match just yet. (You figure he's a candidate to outpitch his projections if he improves in that respect.) The same old criticisms of Stroman's game still apply -- he's short; he doesn't strike out a ton; and so on -- but he's a fascinating pitcher, and one who should get paid based on his track record of being an above-average starter.

Wait a minute, so after throwing zero innings in 2020 he was good for 33 starts. Kind of goes against JD's PHD dissertation in human anatomy that led him to the 6 man rotation, doesn't it.

He pitched 179 innings basically the same as Flexen

Amazingly I was just comparing those two. Flex pitched 116.2 innings in 2020 and like you said pitched 179 innings. Stro had 33 starts and Flex 31 because of the 6 man.

Mariners twitter is orgasmic right now because Stro replied positively to JP's recruiting tweet and Morosi said we are rumored to be in on him.

He basically is Flex. 3.4 bWAR vs. 3.5 for Flexen. 3.4 fWAR vs. 3.0 for Flex.

the nerds sure seem to like him...I like that he seems to be improving, that is an interesting aspect

Dipoto said he’s still uncertain about Kyle Lewis’ status for spring training and that they won’t be able to project his role until they see him in February.

Lewis has not resumed baseball activity

So he lost HIS cell phone # as well?

Seriously....Jerry has communication issues

He was injured in May and was about to come back in Sept. If he is still not ready in January just cut him and open up the 40 man roster spot.

[Donn Beach]

he had a set back in September, sliding drills I believe, they decided to shut him down...sure lets cut him, sounds like a plan.
