The Rangers have claimed righty Brady Dragmire off waivers from the Pirates, per an announcement from Texas. Pittsburgh had acquired him from the Blue Jays in early October.
Dragmire has yet to advance past the Double-A level, though he’s still just 23 years of age. At the penultimate level of the minors last year, he tossed 72 relief innings of 4.38 ERA pitching, with 5.1 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9. That’s the second straight campaign in which Dragmire has posted underhelming earned-run and K/BB numbers, but there is something of an ace up his sleeve. Despite otherwise underwhelming results, he continues to induce grounders on more than three out of every five balls put in play against him.
Giggity giggity–oh, wait… Dragmire.
It still sounds like a cartoon character, regardless.
Ranger’s got another worm-killer? Drese and Feldman were middling pitchers with the same profile.
4.3 Era in AA as a 23 year old with underwhelming K/BB numbers
I read this as Dragonite originally.
Nice contribution, Camelholes
What a Drag for the Bucs?
