2012 Boone Logan Performance Thread

[jcarey]

I couldn't find a current thread for this guy, so apologies if it already exists. Either way, he's not getting nearly enough love.

17.1 IP, 14.02 K/9, 3.12 BB/9, 1.81 FIP, 2.25 xFIP, 3.12 ERA. That's basically D-Rob with fewer walks.

Of course, he doesn't pitch to righties as much (48 TBF to 28 TBF), but if he can lower the walks against them, watch out (currently 13.5 K/9 but 4.5 BB/9). Even now, I think he should be used more often.

One thing I've learned about Boone Logan: As soon as you start saying good things about him, bad things happen.

You bite your tongue.

But just to be safe...

Boone Logan sucks.

He's been solid this year.

[fredgmuggs]

He's been solid this year.

He's been a useful pitcher.

[ZIM 2002]

They say lefty pitchers mature later. He's still awfully young! The trend is definitely in the right direction. Good thing Girardi doesn't overuse his bullpen the way Torre did!

[nnysiny]

dude is a beast

[mr.roy]

Does not back down. Rock solid addition to this bullpen. LH always welcome.

[snapple]

More than a LOOGY. Dude has confidence.

[DJ27]

Better than expected.

[philleotardo]

Makes the Melky/Javy trade look much better.

[BRNXBMRS]

Where did this guy come from? OMG!

[Vin]

Bottomline. This really helped our bullpen tremendously.

[NelsonMuntz]

Something is amiss.

[flymick24]

45 appearances in 80 something games.... if he's not hurt by now, he will be soon

[hardrain]

Hopefully the ASB will be what he needs -- a break from Joe will do him good.

[Yankees1962]

So now Joe's abusing him like Torre did with other relievers? You guys are a trip!

[flymick24]

it's not joe's fault... they've been playing a bunch of close games

if anything, blame the offense for not blowing out other teams

It's truly amazing. Anytime anyone says anything remotely critical of Joe you are immediately on it. You must have some new fangled APP that beeps when someone types "Joe" or "Girardi."

No, I don't think Joe is abusing Logan. I was saying the man can use a break from his manager, the game, the boys .. for a few days ... and hopefully he will be tan and rested for next weekend.

Well, we know that's BS because they're lacing Joe right now in his thread and I haven't posted one word in that thread tonight.

For years, I've been accused of being Cashman's protector and tonight, you accuse me of being Joe's. The problem with that is neither needs my protection from the likes of you or anybody else on this forum. Anyhow, you're still a trip because of your latest posts.

well, back to Logan, he's been very solid this year...let's hope he is ready and rested for the 2nd half.

And the enigma that is Boone Logan continues tonight. Just as awful performance against the LH batters tonight will probably end up costing the Yankees the game. He reminds me a lot of Farnsworth: has all the talent in world with great stuff yet just cannot step up to that elite level.
