Yankees Like Robbie Ray, But They Shouldn't
Some baseball insiders seem to think that Robbie Ray is the answer to the Yankees pitching search. I could be in the minority here but, I’m not sold. I’ve seen enough of him the past couple of years here in Arizona to know that he has some issues. Some of these issues just won’t translate well in Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees are going to continue to be linked to every starting pitcher that may or may not be available….along with numerous other teams. In fact, the Astros, Phillies and now the Brewers are also looking at Ray according to Jon Heyman. I get it, nothing wrong with looking and depth is good. I just don’t think the Yankees will get the return they expect out of him.
Maybe I am wrong. I mean, Peter Gammons is sold on him. Maybe I have watched him too much and just know how to spot what I don’t like about him.
I like the strikeouts, who wouldn’t? I don’t like the walks at 4.5 per nine rate and I especially don’t like that if he’s pitching at Yankee stadium. If you walk too many guys at Yankee stadium things can get away from you fast. Yankee stadium is too hitter friendly, Chase field is pretty hitter friendly also but they don’t have the short right porch to worry about. It really doesn’t matter WHERE Ray would pitch, unless he can get the walks under control it is going to be a problem. Right now he has 56 walks for the season, on pace to break his record for walks in a season and is a league leader in walks. Not a good combination.
