Josh Lueke is one of the “other guys” the Ms picked up in the Cliff Lee trade. He’s a hard-throwing reliever pitching well in AA right now, and the M’s bullpen hasn’t been the most impressive. In fact, in terms of both ERA and FIP (ERA estimation), Seattle’s bullpen is ranked 23rd in the majors. Here are Lueke’s stat lines this season:
Before coming to the Mariners: 38.3 IP, 66 Ks, 10 Walks, 2.11 ERA
Seattle’s AA West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx: 7.3 IP, 14 Ks, NO walks, 0.00 ERA
Yay! Something to be excited about 🙂
