pollythewog Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The statistics alone don't tell the full story of Urena's capabilities. According to Statcast™, Urena's average four-seam fastball last year was 95.83 mph, above the MLB average of 93.04 mph. It's also the highest of any candidate in the rotation. Koehler's average is 92.57 mph, and Volquez's sinker (his primary pitch) is 93.53 mph. This is like the scoopest thing ever. "The statistics alone don't tell the whole story.

Piazza31 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So, who told him to write this? Did Loria hand his flip phone to his assistant and tell him to get "Fiszarro" on the phone or did Jason Pare send him a Snapchat telling him "95.83, get the word ouut eh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishMan1997 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Urena has the flattest fastball in MLB. He's taken over for Eovaldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Have we not learned from the Kyle Farnsworths and Jamie Moyers of the world that velocity on a fastball is basically meaningless if control and movement are non-existent? Yeah, Urena throws hard, but so what? He has no idea where the ball is going, but the batter sure as hell does because that ball is only ever moving on one plane. Petition to call Jose Urena's primary pitch a "flatsball" starts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiwanmarlin Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 In the 13 pitchers we plan to carry,Urena,Locke and McGowan was the most unpredictable and removable arms,we could easily transfered anyone roster spot from that trio to a fifth bench position player,so hope it's worth for us to give up on all the available bats for that three pitchers.

Urena is out of options and they don't want to lose him. Locke and McGowan have guaranteed contracts. It's not that easy to give away their roster spots.

It's not that easy to give away their roster spots. Of course I know all of that,so they're forced by themselves to this situation !? if they decided to keep Urena anyway in the beginning of this off-season then they should reserve a roster spot for him before making those pitchers moves,so if they didn't give guaranteed money to either Locke or McGowan then we wouldn't been forced to sacrifice one bench spot for Urena,it's just my opinion.
