Woof. Good luck hitting that.
It seems like the hot stove is moving a lot faster this season than in the past. And just yesterday, noted Scott Reinen favorite Mike Moustakas signed a four-year, $64 million deal with the Reds. The reliever market has moved faster than anticipated, with both Will Smith and Drew Pomeranz off the board before December.
Those early signings put my favorite pitcher, Dellin Betances, in an interesting position. After Will Harris, he is likely the most desirable reliever left on the board. And he is certainly the most talented. Over the past four seasons, here are Betances’ rank among relievers in the following stats:
K/9: 1st
K%: 2nd
xFIP: 1st
SIERA: 5th
