Trade Analysis: Rich Harden (analysis of Sean Gallagher, too!)

kyleb kyleb posted 14 days ago from drivelinemechanics.com

Make no bones about it - the A’s dealt a high-risk but high-impact player in Rich Harden and received a group of mediocre to above-average talent blocked at most positions in the Cubs’ system. However, is this such a bad thing? Remember that Harden hasn’t thrown 200 innings in his professional career ever, and the last two years he has lost significant time to injury...

The Hardball Times found this 9 days ago on drivelinemechanics.com

As requested, by readers Mark and Heater, I’ve done some analysis of Joba Chamberlain. Most people are familiar with his body of work statistically, so I’ll skip that for this analysis and focus only on the mechanical side of the top prospect in pinstripes. Unfortunately for Yankees fans, I don’t really like what I see…

Driveline Mechanics takes a look at his hitting mechanics and his minor league stats to confirm what we already knew: He should have been up a long time ago.

I have to admit, Zack Greinke has been one of my favorite pitchers to watch ever since he made it to the big leagues with the Royals. Yes, I’m an Indians fan, but like the folks over at Baseball Prospectus, his stuff is exciting to watch. He throws both of his fastballs at varying speeds and locations, he has a great curveball that he occasionally hangs at 70 mph, and flashes a plus changeup...
