I'm considering making a trade for two relievers, specifically, these two:

Louis Siebert

Zeke Cross

Both have very good ratings but I'm not sure what to expect statwise if i maximize their innings. Neither has much ML experience and haven't come close to realizing their full pitch capacity. I'm somewhat concerned about their lack of a third pitch also.

Can anyone post comparable guys with extensive ML experience so that I can have an idea of what to expect innings/performance-wise? Thanks for any help in advance.

Judging by their current ratings I think you're looking at two very good relievers. I'd take either one in a second.



This guy's sort of similar to Siebert. Amazing durability, good control, good splits (my guy is better against ies but slightly worse against righties), 2 pitches... not the most dead-on comparison but they are similar:

Here is another example - 2 pitches, similar ratings but not nearly as much stamina as Siebert. There's enough ML history for a good base line though. you'll just get more innings.

He is on an AL team and there are solid hitting clubs.

They're not special, but they're very good ML relievers, and can work 80-100 innings without losing much effectiveness. In STL, AL, average defense, I'd expect ERA in the high 3's for both of them.
