Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
I repeat, JC Sulbaran traded to the Royals for Broxton.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
I like it.
It's not all about K's. Dude has a 56.6% groundball rate. That kicks butt when you're pitching in GABP.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
1.50 WHIP over the last 3 years, with a K/9 that is Ondrusk-esque.
Meh. Good deal for KC. And this isn't "hand-wringing" either. Simply an opinion. |

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
More stats from baseball-reference.com:
Broxton has his best HR/9 at 0.3 of his career. Actually it ties his 2008 season. Also, his BB/9 is the lowest it's been in 3 years at 3.5. It was 3.4 in 2009, his best season. Dude might be on the comeback. Love that groundball rate in GABP.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
If it's Sulbaran-for-Broxton straight up, I like the deal. Sulbaran has several pitchers ahead of him on the Reds' top prospects list (Corcino, Stephenson, Cingrani, Travieso, Lotzkar).

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
I think this trade is all about Aroldis.
My guess is Walt doesn't like all the heavy usage. Broxton has 23 saves, he can close games. He will back up Chappy at closer and set up as well. Reds pen from the right side was weaker than left side. (Still is, even with the new addition.) |

The one thing that always helps in the post season... Relief pitching.

Re: Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton
Sulbran for Broxton a much fairer trade than Cox for Mujeica.
