Andrew Friedman’s Regime, and The Bums of His Dreams

Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports

Bum #2 Chris Hatcher 1-4 6.38 ERA/3.17 FIP 1.582 WHIP

Hatcher was acquired from the Marlins in the Dee Gordon trade. He was supposedly going to serve as one of the primary right handed setup options to bridge to closer Kenley Jansen. The new front office raved about him and proudly stated that he was one of their main targets in the Gordon trade. What they got instead was just another run of the mill relief bums. He’s another one of those great strikeout to walk guys who gives up a litany of base runners because he’s always around the place. Hatcher stunk up the place for the first two months of the season before succumbing to a strained oblique and being placed on disabled list. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since. Hopefully we never see him again, unless he’s delivering us a hot and ready pizza.
