Montgomery, Hicks and Flaherty

Post by ClassicO »

A lot of folks wanted to sign one or more of these guys. Not exactly lighting it up...
2 Ws, 10Ls between them and Monty only threw one inning before IL.

Am I leaving out anyone?

And he pitched 6 shutout innings in his first start of the season in his 1 win. Ever since then he’s been brutal. He’s given up 7+ hits in 5 of his 9 starts.

Yeah, I actually went back through his game logs and saw that. Tough to succeed as an MLB starter with a 1.5 pitch arsenal assortment

Weirdly he has a good FIP (3.42), better K/BB numbers and velocity than last year.

.362 BABIP means there's probably bad luck involved. But Giants fans screaming about moving him back to BP so we'll see how long he lasts.

I’d like to see Hicks succeed. Not so much for Monty or Flaherty, but I’ve got nothing against them.

I’m surprised you didn’t include Corbin burnes that’s who most people wanted. I remember a couple wanting Montgomery I don’t remember any want hicks and a few strange people wanting Flaherty back but most wanted an ace like pitcher like burnes strange you didn’t include him

I think the OP was just about guys who used to be Cardinals

Yes, build SP from within. Mid market teams have no business signing long term free agent starting pitchers. Too many IL stints and flame out careers.

I would have gladly re-signed Jack on his contract for last year or the one he signed this offseason. I don't miss Hicks on that contract, nor Monty.

Shelby Miller putting up good numbers in a relief role. 3-0, 1.45 era.
