2007

It`s tempting to upbraid the Sox for installing a guy who couldn`t crack the Royals rotation as a stopgap at a time when the outcome of Boston`s season wasn`t a foregone conclusion. But despite the grisly ERA and home run rate, Snyder`s strikeout rate and K/BB ratio suggest more going on than a simple case of the Sucks. Though 2004 labrum surgery cost him velocity, his sinking fastball can still top 90, and he has a decent changeup and a slow curveball (68 to 71 MPH) to boot. Fatigue and exposure appear to be issues (pitches 1 to 30: .245/.304/.443; pitches 31 to 100: .389/.435/.611), suggesting he`s worth a shot in the bullpen.

2006

Snyder had pretty much the best-case scenario for labrum surgery in the spring of 2004: a pristine operation by shoulder specialist Dr. Craig Morgan, a 12-month rehab that proceeded without a hitch, and no recurrence of shoulder problems after his return. Even then, he lost five miles per hour on his fastball, and without the separation in velocity between his fastball and a curveball he can throw for strikes, there`s not much left here but to hope he might one day be a decent swingman. Snyder is another one of the Royals` pitch-to-contact guys that suffers from the defense behind him.
