When the Rockies claimed Dinelson Lamet from the Milwaukee Brewers back in early August, I was one of many who loved the move as a low-risk, potentially high-upside move. Lamet’s career is a tale we’ve all heard many times: a talented pitcher with an electric arm, slowed down by injury and inconsistency. The former Padre was less than two years removed from a masterful 2020 season in which he put up a 2.09 ERA across 69.0 IP, striking over a third of all batters faced and netting a fourth-place Cy Young finish. Lamet then had some injury scares (including a close shave with having to get Tommy John surgery), ended up being moved to the bullpen, and struggled in San Diego, allowing 36 earned runs in 59.
