Well, the vast majority of CB;s numbers in NY came in the last two years, and besides, the Sox pitching was better prior to the purge of 2012.

How has Red Sox pitching been versus Yankee pitching throughout the years, not just the last three. You pitted the possibility of not facing Yankee pitching at Yankee stadium against facing Red Sox pitching at Fenway. Again you can't use 3 years of stats to support the argument that you made using career numbers.

I used career numbers, because most of the ones from Yankee stadium were in the last 3 years. Comparing them to the career numbers from Fenway was not a good comp. You are right.

 

Since CB is not the CB of his prime, a better comp would have been the last 3 years at each park, although the Fenway numbers would be a much smaller sample size:

 

OPS

Year @NY @ BOS

2016 .961 (201 PAs)/.250 (just 8 PAs)

2015 .786 (272 PAs)/ 1.065 (21 PAs)

2014 .772 (238 PAs)/ 1.206 (28 PAs)

 

These sample sizes prove nothing, but they certainly don't prove CB has been a better hitter in NY than in BOS over the last 3 years.

 

Now that CB is with HOU, and the cost was probably too high for us, even if it was a good deal, let's move on.

 

I'm glad he's on the Astros, and the Yanks got MH.

Sure, let's move on. Youwere the one trying to make some point with the stats. I just don't think that your stats adequately backed up your argument.
