Braden has a better FIP and xFIP, pitches in a pitching haven, not a bandbox and has a walk rate that's less than half of what Leake's is. Anybody really think Leake is going to continue to sport a 7.3 HR/FB while pitching in Cincinnati, especially when his K/BB ratio is less than 2? I know he's pitched well as a rookie, but seriously?


Run support.
Plus if we face a LHP, Braden could pitch till he's blue in the face and still not get the W. ;-7 :-/

Put out an offer for Cueto and Olivo for Victor Martinez.

That's a great offer.....I wouldn't put it past an owner to maybe bite on that.

And to Aussie....I guess I've never really made moves based on wins just because they can be so arbitrary. That being said, I can see how OAK won't get him a ton of victories.

Maybe look for a different catcher like McCann or even Wieters, who you could probably get for pretty cheap right now.
