BP Annual Player Comments

YearComment
2019  Due to publishing agreements, the 2019 player comments and team essays are only available in the Baseball Prospectus 2019 book (available in hardcopy, and soon e-book and Kindle).
2018 A 40-man roster crunch forced the Yankees to flip Pazos to Seattle last winter and the Mariners reaped the rewards, carrying the left-hander on the major-league squad all season. Pazos looked like a fringy relief option throughout his minor-league career until he added a few ticks to his fastball, jumping from the low-90s to the mid-90s. Pazos mixes in a low-80s slider as well. He looked like a relief ace in the making for a couple months last season before hitters inevitably caught up with his two-pitch arsenal. He's death to lefties, so his worst-case scenario is settling into a LOOGY role.
2017 After another year to remember at Triple-A, James Pazos will spend his winter sipping tea and aggressively trying to forget a discouraging end to the season that saw him give up two homers in just 3.1 big-league innings.
2016 LOOGY-in-training James Pazos was given a start in the second half of a doubleheader in 2014. He gave up a career-high four runs in a third of an inning, and never started again. The moral: Never fail at anything.
