Walker would shortly be lost to TJ surgery. Koch’s 2nd 2018 appearance and 1st as a starter came on April 20th in San Diego. Koch managed to pitch a good game going 6 innings striking out 4 while allowing only 2 hits, one of them a solo HR, in a no decision start for Koch but a Dback’s loss. Koch again started in April on the 26th in Philly where he would record his 1st 2018 win, but watch his hit count go way up to 6 hits allowed in 6 innings pitched. The beginning of May looked as Koch was going to get knocked down a peg or two with his next two starts scheduled against a couple of big names in Kershaw and Verlander. Koch, with help from the offense, handled the Dodgers and even more so the Astros, with both of these games resulting in home field wins for the Dbacks. Here’s a fun-fact: Matt Koch became the 1st pitcher to face MVPs in consecutive starts since 1947. At this point of the season Koch is 2-0 in 4 starts. The rest of May was shaky at best for Matt Koch since clearly opposing batters have him figured out - Koch gave up a tremendous amount of hits in his last 4 starts of May going 1-3 and allowing 17 runs on 30 hits. In two of these four starts Koch could not manage to strikeout a single batter. Koch’s 1st start in June came at home against the Marlins and Koch was on fire throwing his best stuff. Maybe it was the (minors) team he was facing, either way Koch went 7 innings striking out 6, allowing 0 runs. Looking better, but not for long. Koch would go on to start 3 more games in June and the opposing teams would continue to rough him up. Similar to his end of May starts, Koch was unable to keep his hit count low and gave up 18 hits in his remaining 3 starts in June. Finally, after his final start in June, Koch was optioned back to Reno in anticipation of Shelby Miller’s return. Koch returned to the Dbacks (bullpen) in July and made two appearances http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , in both he threw just 1 inning each game. Koch was once again given a starting opportunity, this time in September against Colorado after Buccholz was scratched. The Rockies pounded Koch for the entirety of the first 3 innings in that start, it was BRUTAL. The rest of the season Matt Koch would only make two more appearances, once in long relief and once more as a starter. Overall, Koch slightly exceeded my expectations as an early season replacement call-up for Walker, less so during his spot starts in September. On the bright side, Koch started 14 games in 2018 when nobody expect he would, and the Dbacks managed to win 8 of those games. Though Koch pitched less out of the pen, he proved a more reliable bullpen piece than others. Expect the 28 year old Koch to compete for a starting rotation spot in 2019, and if that falls through, a long inning relief role in the bullpen. Kevan Smith is gone, to the Angels; Farquhar, LaMarre, Scahill are free agents"The White Sox made their first real moves of the offseason on Friday Brandon McCarthy Jersey , trimming four players. The official release:A fourth player, catcher Kevan Smith, was similarly designated for assignment, but failed to pass through waivers. The Angels claimed him, and with that, the catching battle heading into 2019 appears already decided.Smith, with an average WAR (aWAR) of 0.6 in 2018 after being called up from Charlotte about one-third of the way into the season, was the odd man out entering 2019. With Welington Castillo (0.4 aWAR) entrenched as the starter and Omar Narvez (1.47 aWAR, fourth among White Sox hitters) proving an able starter or backup, Smith was ticketed to begin 2019 in Charlotte, potentially impeding the progress of top catching prospects Seby Zavala and Zack Collins. The decision to DFA Smith might also be an indication that Hahn feels Castillo is an untradeable commodity, after a poor season pockmarked by an 80-game suspension for EPO use. If Castillo (or, selling high, Narvez) is dealt without a significant catcher joining the White Sox via trade or free agency http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , it forces Zavala (who finished last season in AAA) into the majors, ready or not.LaMarre was a waiver pickup from the Minnesota Twins, garnering 0.6 aWAR in just 33 games with the White Sox. That small sample size seemed to indicate that, among the young crop of outfielders who saw significant action in Chicago (Nicky Delmonico, Adam Engel, Charlie Tilson, Trayce Thompson), LaMarre provided the most productive combination of hitting, baserunning and defense. You’d hope that prior to designating LaMarre, a reasonable offer was made to sign him back up for Charlotte, dangling a promise of an Opening Day roster spot, depending on his Cactus League work.Scahill, at 31 last season, was the epitome of organizational filler Jose Ramirez Jersey , doing little of note in spring training, Charlotte, or his six games in Chicago (-0.1 aWAR). A flurry of anticipated arms pouring into Chicago via Birmingham and Charlotte isn’t quite here yet, so barring a bevy of late-offseason inkings, Scahill could well get himself a minor-league deal with the Sox, with a courtesy invite to spring training.Farquhar is the most intriguing and compelling player of the bunch, given his near-death experience last May. The White Sox rallied around Farquhar as a team during his recovery after a brain aneurysm, and invited him to throw out a rather miraculous first pitch before their June 1 game. Given Farquhar’s role as one of the ballclub’s heartbeats, it’s presumed that despite non-tendering Farquhar (who was estimated to earn $1.4 million in arbitration), the team will attempt to re-sign him as the 31-year-old attempts to make a comeback in 2019. Farquhar clocked in with a 0.0 aWAR over eight games in 2018.Each move has been noted in the template for the 2018 South Side Sox White Sox Offseason Plan Project. Note: aWAR is a straight averaging of WAR data from Baseball Prospectus, Baseball-Reference and FanGraphs.
