Damn! these O's suck in so many different ways, that I wouldn't know where to start in order to help 'em as a GM.

Plus we save money by not washing his jersey because he never gets it dirty.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'm going to be shocked if Gonzo doesn't leave the yard today.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Does not want to pitch on the east coast

[Station 13]

It would not be wakefield start without a HR

[mvp 78]

Wake's knuckleball typically wilting in the summer heat.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Should be 6-3 but whatever we're still winning.

[d-money]

Just like that its a game again.f***!!!!

[mvp 78]

Does not want to pitch on the east coast

 

I don't think any NL West pitcher would want to go to the AL East.

[d-money]

Damn Wake!!!

[Jasonbay44]

What the f***, come on Wakefield

[TedWilliams101]

Pull him NOW. f*** the 7-run rule, NOW!

[d-money]

4 run lead and Wake cant hold it

[AtWork]

Time to warm someone up, the bad Wakefield is here.

[iortiz]

I don't think any NL West pitcher would want to go to the AL East.

 

Pick any decent one, but pick it now, dammit!

 

Starting Pitcher Trade Candidates By SIERA

By Tim Dierkes [July 18 at 11:41am CST]

SIERA is an estimator of what a pitcher's ERA would be with average luck, defense, and park, by looking at other pitchers with similar strikeouts, walks, and ground ball rates in recent seasons. The stat goes a step further than similar estimators by accounting for the batting average on balls in play and home run per flyball rates of similar pitchers. Here's your trade candidate SIERA leaderboard from FanGraphs, which now carries an improved version of the stat:

 

Anibal Sanchez - 3.07

Rich Harden - 3.20 (18 innings)

Erik Bedard - 3.23

Derek Lowe - 3.52

Brandon McCarthy - 3.58

Wandy Rodriguez - 3.60

Ricky Nolasco - 3.60

Chris Capuano - 3.61

Edwin Jackson - 3.62

Ubaldo Jimenez - 3.64

Hiroki Kuroda - 3.68

Tom Gorzelanny - 3.70

Ted Lilly - 3.79

Jeff Niemann - 3.92

Brett Myers - 3.94

John Danks - 4.05

Aaron Harang - 4.05

Jason Marquis - 4.08

Livan Hernandez - 4.20

Javier Vazquez - 4.26

Jeff Francis - 4.26

Jeremy Guthrie - 4.27

Bruce Chen - 4.58

Kyle Davies - 4.61

Aaron Cook - 4.66 (38 2/3 innings)

 

There is a subjective element in choosing trade candidates - for example, it was my choice to leave off James Shields and include McCarthy. For the most part I tried to be inclusive, including players like Sanchez, Nolasco, and Jimenez even though they are unlikely to be dealt.
