Not so much – Mitchell Boggs

By: mbohn

When we first told you to ignore Mitchell Boggs, it was based on his performance in the minor leagues. Now there are a lot of people with him on their radar, and you may be one of them. If you are thinking about adding Boggs, make sure you do all of your homework. Sure, he has three wins in only four starts. He also has a 4.37 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. In 22.2 innings of work, he’s allowed 22 batters to reach base, with 11 of them crossing home. You can take a flier of Boggs, but I don’t recommend it. He only has 10 strikeouts, so the only category he has helped anyone in so far is wins.

Personally, I don’t want to sacrifice quality innings for wins. If Boggs were missing more bats and notching more Ks, it would be one thing. He isn’t, however, and despite his six K performance on the 28th, there is no indication that he is going to start piling them up. Keep in mind, that while he struck out those six batters, he also walked four and gave up four hits. So in his six innings of work, in which he earned a win, he still posted a 1.33 WHIP. My advice on Boggs will remain consistent. Not. So. Much.
