... and has only four losses. That trade is working out pretty well. :beerme:

Also, team is 26-12 (.684) when he starts.
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
Pitchers wins and losses mean basically nothing to me, but I'll admit that is pretty cool.
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
He is good at throwing a baseball. Very good.

OTOH, Edinson Volquez' team is 14-18 when he pitches and has walked 115 batters in 36 starts. Quite a difference. This year, he's 0-3 with the team being 0-4 and he has an 8.84 ERA (I know--small sample size). It's fairly easy to see that this was a tremendous trade for Walt Jockety!

If April is his bad month, the N.L. is in for a lot of trouble in 2013.

Agreed! Along with several other moves he's made to build this team.

At the time of the trade, there were only a handful of pitchers I would have preferred over Latos. He's an amazing combination of talent, age, and salary.
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
Might be one of the best two way trades ever made...
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
And 2 of them came in his first 3 starts with the Reds, where he has admitted he was trying too hard to impress the fans and Reds management after the big trade.
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
when he doesn't lose his cool you could argue he's our best pitcher.
Re: Latos has now started 38 games as a Red ...
I believe he is our ace/#1/top dog.

Meanwhile Grandal sits out 50 games and Boxberger 2 years later still likely wouldnt be in our bullpen.

Same for Homer too. They're both throwing up ace numbers in April and historically get stronger as the year goes on.
