I can name about 20 quality arms the Rays have produced over the last decade off the top of my head. Obviously, you don’t need stats to know that the Rays churn out pitching better than almost any other team, maybe except for the Cleveland Indians. The only notable stat that the Astros weren’t top 2 among National League teams was ERA, where they still placed at 5th.įollowing the 2009 season Robinson joined the Tampa Bay Rays, becoming a minor league pitching instructor. All of those ranked top 6 or better in the MLB. From 1998 through 2004 the Astros had a team ERA of 4.15, FIP of 4.19, and fWAR of 124.7. The Astros were a quality pitching team while Robinson was part of their organization. A decade later, he had worked his way up to being Houston’s pitching coach, that being in 2008-2009. In 1998, Robinson was named the organization’s player development man of the year. The former pitcher eventually joined the Houston Astros in 1997. Robinson eventually became part of the White Sox minor league coaching staff in the late-80’s and was their bullpen coach during the 1993-1994 seasons. While he never made it as a MLB pitcher, he has carved out an excellent career as a pitching developer. Robinson formerly played with the Chicago White Sox from 1979 through 1981.
It will be part of the front office and player personnel department, director of pitching development Dewey Robinson. The most significant addition the Pirates may make the entire offseason isn’t going to be a player.
