A FEW OTHER NAMES TO CONSIDER

As I noted at the beginning of this article, this year’s free agency market for starting pitching is vast and bursting with tons of interesting names, and it hasn’t been tapped into much as of yet. This unannounced pitcher signing could realistically be 20 different guys, all ranging from your Kendall Graveman types to more of your Alex Wood types. So it’s hard to even pinpoint what kind of impact they’re looking for, if at all.

But here are a few more names for you to think over while we await tomorrow’s announcement:

  • RHP Andrew Cashner (2019: 150 IP, 4.68 ERA, 6.48 K/9, 1.8 fWAR)
  • RHP Homer Bailey (2019: 163.1 IP, 4.57 ERA, 8.21 K/9, 2.9 fWAR)
  • RHP Tanner Roark (2019: 165.1 IP, 4.35 ERA, 8.60 K/9, 2.0 fWAR)
  • RHP Danny Salazar (2019 [rehabbing]: 4 IP, 4.50 ERA, 4.50 K/9, -0.2 fWAR)
  • RHP Trevor Cahill (2019: 102.1 IP, 5.98 ERA, 7.12 K/9, -0.8 fWAR)
  • RHP Tyson Ross (2019: 35.1 IP, 6.11 ERA, 6.37 K/9, 0.0 fWAR)
  • RHP Jerad Eickhoff (2019: 58.1 IP, 5.71 ERA, 7.87 K/9, -0.4 fWAR)
  • RHP Jhoulys Chacín (2019: 103.1 IP, 6.01 ERA, 8.80 K/9, -0.1 fWAR)
  • RHP Edwin Jackson (2019: 67.2 IP, 9.58 ERA, 6.92 K/9, -1.1 fWAR)
  • LHP Brett Anderson (2019: 176 IP, 3.89 ERA, 4.60 K/9, 2.0 fWAR)
  • LHP Gio Gonzalez (2019: 87.1 IP, 3.50 ERA, 8.04 K/9, 1.4 fWAR)
