Indians DFA Nick Maronde

[KevinJ14]

Just saying.  Why do former Angels rarely find success when they leave?

[IEAngelsfan]

Wait, I'm getting confused and I thought it was the other way around and they found success once they left the Angels.

 

This place gives me headaches.

[KevinJ14]

Depends.

Depends are for the other end.

Sarcasm? Right?

Here's a better one.

 

Just saying. Why do established Major League hitters come to the Angels and hit better than they did with their old clubs.

I really liked this kid for awhile.

 

Then again I've always been sh*t when it comes to judging anything.

Kid was killing it as a starter.  Then started relieving and the wheels fell off.  

 

Interestingly, when he went to cleveland, they stretched him back out to being a starter.  Did well in A ball.  Got hammered in two starts in AA and then went 6ip, 2h, 1bb and 8k in his last start of the season which was at AAA.  

 

Last year with the halos he walked 41 batters in 24.1ip. 

In cleveland when they converted him back, he allowed 4bb in 23ip.  

 

Bizarre.  

 

He's only 25.  Couldn't hurt to sign him to a minor league deal and let him start in AA or AAA just to see what happens.
