Back in November, the Athletics made a waiver claim, bringing in right-hander Anthony Maldonado from the Miami Marlins. The way Maldonado tells it, the A's were surprised that he ended up on the waiver wire at all. This was at the beginning of the off-season, before the A's went on a bit of a spending spree and the roster composition changed a little bit, but Maldonado certainly has the tools to be a successful big league relief pitcher in the green and gold. While his fastball averaged 93 miles per hour with the Marlins, which is below league average these days, he did a great job of limiting hard contact with an 85.3 mile per hour average exit velocity, as well as a 31.9% chase rate and a 28.7% whiff rate, all of which were well above league average in a small sample.
