I like Ray as a poor man’s Lance McCullers

3

I’m eternally distrustful of Ray. Hope he proves me wrong!

4

Ray has a 2.97 FIP/ 2.88 xFIP in the second half.

5

I didn’t say my distrust was based in logic!

6

Your distrust is probably related to how hard the ball is hit off of Ray when batters do put the ball in play! Ray has a 36.8% hard hit rate, second worst among all qualified pitchers.

I’m keeping Ray at $7. The dingers and that home park scare me but as a 4th or 5th SP going into 2017 he has huge upside. When you watch him it’s a wonder anyone ever gets a hit off him until he grooves a fastball and it ends up in the seats. The K% is enough to mitigate that in my eyes and I’ll take a $7 gamble that the second half is him figuring it out.
