 He's a 30-year-old left-hander, his nickname is the Big Maple, this past year 11 and 6, 3.76 ERA and 28 starts, he threw 116 a third in his pitch, he struck out 208 with a whip of 1.098. So good numbers, again he's 30, he is not a free agent till 2021, so they have him controlled for 3 years. Here are the 3 players the Yankees are sending, their number one prospect Justice Sheffield who remember they got from the Indians in the Andrew Miller deal, outfielder Don Thompson Williams who is unranked as a prospect and right-handed pitcher Eric Swanson who has been on the come of late and he's their number 22 prospect. They didn't give up Thyro Estrada, they did not give up any of their other top 10 prospects which is, I think it's not a bad deal, Sheffield has a good arm, he's electric, made his debut with the Yankees in September coming out of the bullpen, he does not have great command, the Yankees were lucky to bring them up as a starter, they thought that his speed and velocity would play as a reliever, left-hander 22 years old so you're trading a 22 year old for 30 year old although with the 30 year old you still have control of him for 3 years. It's not a terrible deal people, it's not, the Yankees need quality starters, they get themselves a big time lefty, he walked 42, he struck out 108, gave up 134 hits in 160 and a third innings pitched, so 176 base runners in 160 and a third innings pitched with a 3.76 ERA, Sheffield in AA and AAA 7-6 2.48, he had 3 gains with the Yankees, he's allowed 3 innings in 2 and 2 third innings, struck out 123 in 116 minor league innings, 82 hits but 50 walks and that was a concern. Now this is a guy who was the first round drop pick who has now been traded twice in 3 years, so does he become a big star, who knows Yankees gave up a big arm but they get back a big arm, Paxton has had some injuries in his career. I was just going to say not a lot of innings in a career in which he is entering his seventh season of Major League Baseball, he hasn't gotten to 590 innings pitched, his most appearances last year 28 before that 24, 20, 13, 13 and 4, so he's got 102 appearances all starts in a six year career, so injuries have been a little bit of a problem, so he hasn't given you a ton of innings to work with but you know the stats look pretty good, what you like is more 2017 when he was 12 and 5 with a 2.98 as opposed to the 11 and 6 this pasture with a 3.76, so the Yankees are hoping to get to 2017 Paxton. Now JJ Cooper who covers baseball, he's executive editor for Baseball America, points out that Eric Swanson was going to be needed to be added to the 40 man roster, Yankees are out of time without protecting him and the Yankees 40 man roster with such talent relatively tight so this makes it easier for them, they take Sheffield off the roster, they put Paxton on the roster and they don't have to worry about putting Swanson on the roster and losing another player, so there you have it, so that's the deal, Yankees strike quickly and now you have to wonder well who do you want, you want Corbin who's younger or do you want Hap which would give you then three left handers in your rotation, CeCe, Paxton and Hap. Not bad, it's not awful for a sports event, especially in that ballpark. Have a lot of left-handers, yeah and you're right with a short porch in right field and you'll be able to dominate those left-handed batters.
