Putting Positive Spin on New Cubs Starter Trevor Williams
Given that the Cubs are operating under a restricted budget as they seek to fill out the rotation, righty starter Trevor Williams might be as close to an ideal target as Jed Hoyer can find. That’s why, despite underwhelming production over the past two seasons in Pittsburgh, the Cubs agreed to terms with Williams Saturday afternoon.
At this point for the Cubs, starting pitcher Trevor Williams might make the most sense…
– Started over 25 games three times
– Release point 'lower' than 80% MLB (is that good or bad? idk)
– 3 BB/9
– League average SL whiff rate with room for improvement
(1/6)
