33legend 317 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The big question many Paxton owners have in salary keeper leagues is what his value is with a low $ contract. I have him for $5 and can keep him another year at that price. Not going to trade him for a $23 deGrom. You would need quite a haul in that situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WahooManiac 2,002 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 How many times does one really make lateral trades though? Trade him for an established bat or ride out the profit imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
agg2596 380 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Pax had a little trouble in the third leaving a couple fastballs over the heart of the plate that got laced for doubles. Also got unlucky with a ball being overthrown from RF and bouncing off 2nd, letting a runner get a free base, along with a hitter ripping a double that bounced right on the line that scored 2. Still looking filthy with the Ks, even though the A's are fighting off pitches better than I thought they would. Pax is still touching 98-99 at times for the Ks and working those filthy breaking pitches. He's doing pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big leagues is crazy. I've sat in vs 95 mph and almost **** my pants. These guys go up and just casually slap it all over the yard if not located right.

tuesdays 355 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Was watching the fifth inning with my roommate, we were both saying how Servais should have pulled Paxton after 4. it was obvious he didn't have his stuff. there's no point in sending him back out there. wish managers would pull guys earlier in general. longmen like Erasmo and Devenski are making this more possible. quality starts may be a useless fantasy stat in three years Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have enough data and analytics out there to show that it's not beneficial today, and I'm assuming that will be true in 5 years too. Leaving the young guys out there to deal with adversity also helps them a bit in the long run. It's a long season...if this were an important playoff game, then it's a different story.

This is never an excuse for any pitcher ever. The umps strike zone has to become a part of the pitchers gameplan. Its time to see how he bounces back mentally. Will it be a new improved paxton or the same old mental midget? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pap 99 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Facing adversity, no bigger or more important test than that, I can't wait for his next start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swfcdan 688 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Still racked up the K's, baffling how the A's of all teams were barrelling everything but that's baseball for you. Might make him attainable in trades again! Worth a shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bradwatson 1,613 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The friggin A's lit up two of my aces this week: Darvish and Pax. Who are these guys? I think Pax will be fine. I had a bad feeling about the game beforehand. Just seemed like he was due for a rough outing. From what I saw his velo was slightly down. Saw mostly 95 with some 96. Don't remember seeing anything above that but I only watched a few innings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gumbo_Ghost 1,141 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hoping for some variance with Tigers, coming off 5, 12, 19 runs Due for a Paxton shut down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 3,940 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm starting Paxton. Hopefully the Tigers blew their wad last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z06vette 1,519 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good;Tigers hitting .224 against lefties. Bad: Tigers hitting .284 at home. Last 7 days Tigers hitting .289 Night games .304 Paxton's record against the Tigers is 1-1 with 3.86 ERA. I understand some guys have looked at all this and some haven't, due to not enough time due to work etc..Hopefully this can help some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
