Beavan's got 4 K, 1+ BB, and it's unclear where his homer rate is. He's got like 60% QS for his career.
He's got a place in the game, but ... blocking dynamic talent? Neh.
It's one thing to say that Ryan Franklin should not be holding out Michael Pineda. It's another thing to sneer at giving Ryan Franklin a 15-start opportunity.
............
Coming from you Grizzle, if you want to go on the record that Beavan's a lost cause, we all understand that you're putting chips down on the "don't pass" line. No problem.
Coming from "On High," the scornful Beavan post is intended to end the discussion, stop here, speak no further. Am not buyin' the 998/1000 light bulb shtick he's peddlin'. ;- )
...........
I'd peg Beavan's current level at around his career 81 ERA+ .... 81 is a back-end starter; some teams need stoplosses. There are a whale of a lot of 80, 90 starters in the league. 100 ERA+ is not the bottom cutoff for MLB(TM) starter.
:droll tone: I Could Be Wrong.
