good pickup and perfect bounce-back candidate

 

[EpochLink]

Happy for Marco, he’s a solid vet.
A’s fans, you are getting a solid pitcher.

Here’s hoping to a good year!

Very good pickup for Oakland here. He should be good in their rotation.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Could do well at the collessium

 

[darko]

Should bounce back.

Estrada is 35 (turning 36 mid season). He likely is what he is at this point

Great pick up for the A's. He still has a bit of gas in the tank and going to the cavernous coliseum should only help him out. What you A's fans will really like about him is if you can find the magic and make a playoff run again;

In six career post season starts

15 Game 3 ALDS: 6.1 IP, 1 ER, 4 SO
'15 Game 1 ALCS: 5.1 IP, 3 ER, 6 SO
'15 Game 5 ALCS: 7.2 IP, 1 ER, 5 SO
'16 Game 1 ALDS: 8.1 IP, 1 ER, 6 SO
'16 Game 1 ALCS: 8 IP, 2 ER, 6 SO
'16 Game 5 ALCS: 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 SO

Total: 3-3, 2.64 ERA, 30 so.

Dude was absolute money in crunch time. Given the A's ability to pick any scrap heap off the pile and turn it into a competent starter i think this will be a great move.

Yep. He's an extreme flyball pitcher, so the spacious ballpark in Oakland will help him out a ton.

I like the gamble. If he bounces back then his style could really fit the A's.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

At 4 mil he's worth the risk.

 

[darko]

At 4 mil he's worth the risk.

In 6 months we'll be discussing how much of a bargain he is.

Sure hope so.

As has the last (insert # years here) have been, the rotation has been a revolving door due to injuries and weirdness (Montas).

lots to be excited about in regards to next year's rotation

puk-luzardo-manaea could be fun to watch assuming they can all stay healthy
