No. 49: Boone Logan

A bust on his last free-agent deal, Logan is nonetheless a good lefty option for a team looking for southpaw bullpen help.

Position: RP | Age: 32
Current Team: Rockies | Best Fit: Phillies
2016 Stats: 2–5, .369 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 11.1 K/9, 1 Sv

The three year, $16.5 million deal the Rockies gave Logan before 2014 seemed like an overpay at the time and proved to be just that, as he posted a 5.37 ERA over just 60 innings during his first two seasons with Colorado. But Logan, a 6'5" southpaw, regained his lefty-dominating ways last season, holding same-side hitters to a .142 batting average. The Phillies' bullpen had a 5.05 ERA in 2016, and Philadelphia's righty-heavy composition means that lefthanded hitters killed the team late in games. Let's give them Logan.
