How good will Cleveland be this year?

One I'm using career numbers not last year. Fister has two full seasons under his belt. What more does he need? In 10+ years Beckett has only pitched 200 innings 3 times. I guess that's something else they have in common. Beckett is not any better than Fister and costs a lot more. I'm sorry blowing 68 million on Beckett bother's you.

 

A career spanning 450 IP, more than half of which were pitched last year.

 

I'm going by your logic: Brandon "The Beast" Macarthy is better than Doug Fister.

 

In fact, he's my new favorite pitcher.

McCarthy's career numbers are worse than Fister's so I'm not sure what point you are trying to prove.

But his FIP and ERA+ from last year were better and he pitched 170 innings!

I'm using Fister's career ERA+ and FIP when comparing to Beckett so I still don't get your point. If you're saying McCarthy was better than Beckett, than you may have something.

A) Because of the samples, comparing Brandon's and Doug's 2011 is the same as comparing Doug and Josh career-wise. Aka something stupid. Beckett and Lester are better and have been better than Fister for a long time.

 

B ) I have no desire to continue this discussion. Not only do you not have a point, but your assertion that Macarthy may be better than Beckett is not only laughable, but shatters what little credibility you had.

Back to subject. Tribe is now 14-10 and getting great pitching and finally some timely hitting.

 

Could be interesting.

Guardians 3 1/2 in front of the Tigs.

Swept the Tigers.

Lol, the Tigers suck ass right now. They started off looking good, then when they got destroyed by the Rangers they pretty much just went to pieces, have been pretty mediocre since then.
