How many blown saves does paps have?

Craps can come in with a 3 run lead, give up 2, and still get a “save”, even though it’s a lousy outing. Let’s look at his peripherals to see how he might pitch in the future. These have been observations from THIS year. These stats also do NOT include his latest failure.
fastball: He doesn’t have great command, and has a tendency to get behind in counts and serve up meatballs. This is the only pitch that he can kinda locate consistently for strikes.

splitter: It’s a decent out pitch and is best throw when ahead in the count because he can’t really throw it in the zone. If he does throw it in the zone, he sometimes hangs a flat one for a HR.

slider: don’t really know what to say about this one. IMO, it’s not really effective at all.

K/9- is down from 10.06 to 8.03

BB/9 is up from 3.18 to 3.28

HR/9: This is the big one. Everyone know’s a fastball is coming, so when he misses, it gets hit a long way. It is up from .66 to 1.09

BABIP: He’s at .227 and his career average is .274,which is really scary.

His FIP and xFIP are up and are 4.06 and 4.25 respectively.

It doesn’t matter how many “saves” or blown saves he has so far. He isn’t a dominant reliever at all this year.

I had the lmgtfy page up about to do the same thing. Well done.

Making your comment quasi…um…bitchy.

“(General Manager X)? Hi, this is Theo. We have a Closer who is going downhill fast, who has one year of team control left and is going to be mighty expensive next season… would you please trade us a cheaper, better reliever for him?”

I’m not sure I understand the theory here… are we supposed to find a team that stopped watching baseball sometime in August? If I’m another GM Paps’ expense alone would scare me off, nevermind his struggles. If he was cheap or even expensive but fairly reasonably priced (say something like 5-6mm) we could definitely find someone. Not too many teams can afford to give up assets to pay a Closer whose periphs are on a downward track $12mm for one season before he walks in free agency.

Thought of an upside to all this, though… remember when we all used to be terrified Paps would end up a Yankee? Now I would be delighted!
