Skaggs extremely overrated IMO

[fan_since79]

Bridwell's spring numbers are really bad. He may need some additional work in AAA.

Skaggs career numbers are really bad

I really like Tropeano, but chances are he will get a lot of starts with the big club this year 

[Torridd]

Does anyone know Bridwell's spring numbers last year?

[Blarg]

For the Orioles in 2017 he appeared in 4 spring training games for a total of 4 innings pitched with an ERA of 6.75. The Angels traded for him in mid April for cash.

So perhaps for Parker, he bears down come regular season?

If it comes down to it, I like Tropeano over Skaggs right now.

Skaggs is our number 2 in the rotation? I get the feeling that we’re already in trouble and the season hasn’t even started yet.

I don't like the entire vibes around the early schedule. Four games in Oakland, then Cleveland comes in to Anaheim. Just doesn't feel right.

Assuming Skaggs makes the rotation and Tropeano doesn't, I would hope Skaggs is on a short leash....Tropeano was better this spring and while he may have potential, Skaggs has never shown any consistency, including this spring...Small sample size but Tropeano was solid in both 15 and 16 when he got his chance (21 starts)....and he was better than Skaggs this spring...Neither is a prospect anymore so you hate to see either at SLC....but if Skaggs struggles, I wouldn't hesitate to send him down....assuming Tropeano continues to pitch well....

Thank goodness we’re not opening the season against Tijuana. They whooped our ass pretty good.

Tyler Skaggs, career:

13-21, 4.59 ERA, 85 ERA+, 0.7 WAR

...and a TJ surgery thrown in for good measure.

[Angel Oracle]

Trade him to Seattle.    Third time's the charm for Dipussy?

[zenmaster]

Is there any way we can dump our whole rotation, all 9 of them or whatever and start over???

This is a dumb sentiment, and I realize you are likely joking.

Still, not every pitcher dominates in spring training. Most ST stats mean nothing.

I don't get the hype on Skaggs. (and no this has nothing to do with today) 

13 career wins and a 4.59 era.

Since 2012 when he got called up he has had ONE year with over 100 innings pitched.

Seems like many are penciling him in for a good solid year, yet it's based on nothing.

Convince me why he's going to be solid and that we shouldn't go after Arrieta, Lynn, or Cobb. 

 

 

Does tonights game help?

To be fair, one start does not make a season. 

[Taylor]

He skuggs.

Yes, but one season doesn’t make a start, either.  Right? 

 

[JustATroutFan]

If he doesn't walk people, like he did tonight, he has a chance to be really good. Need to take advantage of the great defense behind him.

That applies to all our pitchers. Richards lost because of the walks before the HR.

I love the 0 walks. Just as I didn't panic that Trout went 0-6 I won't go crazy on Skaggs' excellent start. Hope he repeats this though!

[UndertheHalo]

Skaggs looked great tonight.  That curve ball is a great pitch.
