2008

Condrey has minor groundball tendencies and major line-drive tendencies; his pitches up get smoked, particularly by lefties, who have career rates of .309/.381/.472 against him. Batters hit about .720 on line drives, so being above-average in that department is about as encouraging as leading the league in cholesterol.

2007

After four years as a starter, Condrey went back to relieving last year and had something of a fluke season with Triple-A Scranton. Typically, anything Condrey throws gets hit, frequently hard, but he did an exceptional job of suppressing extra-base hits with men on base last year in both Triple-A and the majors, preventing opponents from scoring nearly as many runs off of him as they should have at either level. That seems unlikely to happen again. A nine-year minor league veteran, Condrey`s not just a retread, but one with a bent rim and a nail and two pieces of glass embedded in the sidewall. Somehow he`s still holding air.

2003

Well, that idea worked out pretty well, but I still don’t understand how. That 3.50 ERA in Portland was probably something of a miracle and fluke, based on the iffy peripheral numbers. If Condrey can keep up that kind of success with that strikeout rate, he’s a magician. It doesn’t happen very often. It does occasionally, but the better bet is for a significant slide. Certainly, he’s earned a longer look.
