Well....that was like 7 or 8 years ago.what happened to him, he used to be a super hyped prospect
Nibbles around too many batters, giving up too many walks then has a tendency to give up the long ball. But he never gets injured and is a good bet to pitch 180 innings every year which a team like the Angels desperately needs.what happened to him, he used to be a super hyped prospect
He really isn’t an upgrade on Heaney, Bundy, Ohtani, or Canning whatsoever. That 5.26 xFIP is ugly.Jokes aside, he's good for about a 2.5 WAR per year. He's an upgrade on anything they had.
By what metrics? Bundy had a 4.58 xFIP, 2.5 fWAR, Teheran had a 5.26 xFIP, 1.6 fWAR, a lower K/9 and a higher BB/9I know you are being dramatic but Teheran is a huge upgrade on Dylan Bundy;unless Bundy somehow puts it together like a Giolito did.

That’s great and all, but the Angels aren’t making the playoffs without top tier starting pitchers. Anything less isn’t going to move the needle or excite me in any way. Teheran isn’t that.He has 8 straight years of 174 or more IP, the rest of those guys combined have one such season total including Ohtani's time in Japan, he may not be spectacular but he takes his turn every 5 days which is more than you can say about everyone else on the staff

They have to take what's available to themThat’s great and all, but the Angels aren’t making the playoffs without top tier starting pitchers. Anything less isn’t going to move the needle or excite me in any way. Teheran isn’t that.
