With Dave Dombrowski having traded for pitchers Brad Ziegler and Drew Pomeranz a few weeks ago, trade deadline day was expected to be quiet – but Trader Dave has secured the services of Fernando Abad, a lefty specialist.
In the SoSH Forums, fans are getting to know Abad:
.163/.192/.265 vs LHH this year
Weird how a guy can have a 110 career ERA+ but also have a career W-L of 6-24. He has a career OPS+ against of .950 in tie games, which has no doubt been a big part of that W-L record. 206/259/326 against him when he comes in with the lead though.
He also only has one career save in 297 relief appearances. The old school “stats” don’t make him look good, but who cares as long as he gets people out.
