A contributor on a Boston forum argued that the Red Sox should trade for a younger potential ace rather than signing a free agent for what could be a post-prime contract. The fan targeted Pittsburgh righthander Jameson Taillon and I responded with this comp:Taillon and/or Walker would be welcome in Seattle under the right terms.FWIW righthander Jameson Taillon has an ERA+ of 112 in 466 career innings while free agent righthander Taijuan Walker, who is nine months younger than Taillon, has an ERA+ of 108 in 581.2 career innings.
Since the start of the 2019 season Taillon has an ERA+ of 106 in 37.1 innings while Walker has an ERA+ of 165 in 54.1 innings.
Taillon and Walker were taken out of high school in the 2010 draft, Taillon with the second pick and Walker with the 43rd pick. The Baseball America Top 100 prospects lists ranked Taillon and Walker No. 15 and No. 20 in 2012, No. 19 and and No. 18 in 2013 and No. 22 and No. 11 in 2014.
Taillon has undergone Tommy John surgery twice and Walker once; Taillon also had surgery for testicular cancer.
Baseball Reference lists Taillon at 6-5, 230 pounds and Walker at 6-4, 235 pounds. Combined, they're Taijuan Taillon.
