His arm plays in RF, but I don't think the rest of his D will at the K

Royals just signed Michael Wacha. It's a name I've been saying for a few years now.

Wacha's fun.

When he gets in a rhythm and gets batters into the rocking chair with that fastball/changeup combo, he can really make guys look silly. The curve never developed as much as I thought it should for a guy with an overhand delivery and his height - I really felt like he should develop one oft he better waterfall curves in the game and it just didn't happen for him. His is passable but not a hammer. I think it's because both the change and the curve require so much feel to throw well that it's hard to get two feel pitches really working at the same time.

And ultimately he isn't working at 95 anymore since his stress fracture thing way back when so the curve isn't as useful as it would've been when he could work 95-97 up in the zone then tunnel that curveball off it. Now he uses the fastball more to set up other stuff and combined with the cutter/change, it all works pretty well together.

Solid guy. He and Lugo should be nice adds for you but obviously durability is going to be a real worry there.

Im blown away by all these signings...didnt think they had it in em

PHOG 12-15-2023 11:04 AM

Keep going, don't stop.

Mecca 12-15-2023 11:07 AM

Yea that's the consolation prize of realizing Stroman is going for 25+ a year and Giolito likely wants a 1 year deal in a good situation so he can go back into FA next year.

VAGOMO 4 LIFE! 12-15-2023 11:08 AM

Wacha was great last year! 14-4 record

And they still have long term payroll flexibility. Most of the deals are one year

Yesh thats smart. Try to win a little, maybe 75 wins. Get fans engaged. Claim you will sign Bobby Witt under any circumstance then once you get funding for the new stadium...just dont.
