Nashville Escorts: Who Is Marco Estrada?
10 02 2010Many folks have written off this move for the Crew due to a below-average strikeout rate of 6.47 K/9 in Triple-A last season. While those numbers may be nothing to write home about, he balanced that nicely with a low 2.18 BB/9 walk rate — good for a 2.97 K/BB ratio. Strikeout rates should never be looked at in a vacuum, as even a modest strikeout rate in the 5-6 range can be effective if the walks are low enough and the young man is a groundball pitcher — it is unclear whether or not Estrada can induce groundballs consistently in the big leagues, though.
The point of this post is not to pimp Marco Estrada as the future savior of the Brewers’ starting rotation, nor is it even to guarantee Estrada will be a #3 starter in the years to come. Marco Estrada does have a fine chance, however, to stick as a #4 or #5 starter either in 2011 or perhaps even later in 2010, depending on injuries and ineffectiveness, of course.
