Tyler Glasnow is bound to face heightened expectations in Tampa Bay, not much unlike the player he (alongside Austin Meadows and Mr. PTBNL) was traded for. For Chris Archer it was the dreaded “ace” label hanging over his inflated ERA. For Glasnow, it will be that he is the arm selected to replace one of the most popular pitchers in Rays history.
Not helping Glasnow’s case, either, will be that he and Archer suffer a similar affliction — although it is in a far smaller sample for Glasnow than Archer, here is an interesting note:
Archer: 1,063.
