Red Sox Nation 3,178 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Positive news: http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/05/06/athletics-pitcher-sean-manaea-nearing-return-from-shoulder-strain/ As far as people wondering if he's a hold or not, here are some numbers from his past 18 starts (in parenthesis, where this number would've ranked him last year): 109 ip 102 k's, 23.5 k% (20th), 6.7% BB (30th), 16.8% k-bb (21st) 3.06 ERA, 3.53 FIP (14th) 52.2% GB (9th) 12.8% SwStr (6th) 74.4% contact rate (8th) Shoulder tightness is indeed scary. And who knows what happens going forward, and all I did above was compare 18 starts to a full years worth. But it's kind of obvious he's showing high-end ability to miss bats, strikeout batters, limit contact, not walk people, and get ground balls. Why anyone would even contemplate dropping a guy like that is beyond me.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy_Slippers 4,029 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Facing the Mariners at Safeco on Monday. Are you guys starting him? Mariners are 6th in runs scored and 10th in OPS. They are better on the road, however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reckoner 53 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I'm thinking about it, but might prefer to take a wait and see approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BohCountyBats 170 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 In a weekly roster moves league I would love to sit him. Don't think I can though. 2 start weeks only happen 1-2 times a month. I've missed out on too much Manaea production to miss a two start week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gets out there, throws a inning or two, and shoulder starts messing with him and you're screwed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I own him in a deep 12 team(5 Bench and 4 DL so more like a 14 IMO) and I will be starting him. He has good stuff and hes in good parks even if hes playing boston on sat.

JFS179 3,772 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm impressed with the optimism you guys are displaying. I hope this goes well ... Manaea was one of the only pitchers I somehow ended up with in all leagues. Pitchers off the DL make me nervous, but I'm not terribly put off by this matchup ... I'm just terrified of almost all pitchers at this point. Pitching in general has been one giant kick in the pills this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't envision him throwing a prodigious game, but I'll take 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 punch-outs. Edited May 15, 2017 by Fuzzy_Slippers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
