SP Jeff Locke PIT
Didn’t understand this one from Dan. At the beginning of the
year this would make sense, as Cain was looked at as a valuable long term
keeper with great rates and consistent production while Weaver was injured
early. But Cain is not having a good season. He’s been better as of late,
particularly his last two starts, but still his shakiness is not enough to give
up Weaver, who has been great, straight up – nevermind giving up the surprising
Jeff Locke. Weaver is 78/2.90/1.12/10 in 15 starts while Locke is
94/2.36/1.22/12. Locke is clearly not this good and is likely to regress, but
will he be as bad as McCarthy (39/5.00/1.43/4)? I highly doubt it. If Dan was
getting back a pick, I could see this making some sense, but still the talent
differential is substantial here and Chris clearly got the better of this
trade.
