July 31, 201214 yr The Reds added a closer to the NL's best bullpen today, acquiring Jonathan Broxton from the Royals, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link).Broxton, 28, has bounced back this year to post a 2.27 ERA in 35 2/3 innings, although his peripheral stats aren't great with a 6.3 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/07/reds-acquire-jonathan-broxton.html
July 31, 201214 yr Author Perhaps the Reds have another trade to make now that involves one of their relievers. Otherwise, I don't understand this move.
July 31, 201214 yr Should we assume he's not closing? Does this move Marshall to the 7th inning? Do we now have a 2012 Nasty Boys?
July 31, 201214 yr Perhaps the Reds have another trade to make now that involves one of their relievers. Otherwise, I don't understand this move. Perhaps something along the lines of Stubbs/Ondrusek for Span? :idunno:
July 31, 201214 yr Author The game just became 7 innings for their opponents. Not a big fan of Broxton. Too many walks for my liking.
July 31, 201214 yr Perhaps something along the lines of Stubbs/Ondrusek for Span? :idunno: I'm not sure why the Twins would give him up. Cheap and has a few years remaining on his contract.
July 31, 201214 yr According to who the Reds gave up for Broxton I'm pleased, adding pitching can't be a bad thing.
July 31, 201214 yr Broxton on twitter: Brox@Brox4AllStarz Brox thanks the good people of KansasTown. You were so nice to ol Broxy. Sorry for eating all the BBQ that one time. And that other time. Apparently he speaks in the third person :lol:
July 31, 201214 yr July : 4 Appearances. 1 game with walks. June: 10 appearances. 5 games with walks - 1 each game. May: 12 appearances 3 games with walks. 35 appearances. In 24 of those he gave up a hit. In 27 he gave up a hit and/or a walk.
