One name in particular comes to mind....... RBI's FTW!

If they don't give up much (and they likely won't) this is a move that could pay off big time for the Yankees.

Maybe he spent all of it buying icy hot and all sorts of painkillers? He is soft and always injured after all.........

1) Not over 183 IP. 2) League average ERA =/= good ERA. 3) Then we've going around in circles, because my point isn't either of them being "reliable" but who's the better bet to not completely implode next year. That's what i meant by more of a "sure" thing, we're talking about four and five starters, not rotation headliners. 4) Again, you refer to quality, if you look at the discussion in the first place, you're talking about "quality" i'm talking about "serviceable". I've been telling you since the beginning you took the discussion out of context.

Let's analyze this point by point: 1)You're using career average for BABIP, when most of that sample size was created by the .366 BABIP he had in 2008 which is absolutely unsustainable. This is incorrect. 2) Sustaining a league average ERA is possible while maintaining a 1.3 WHIP, however, it's not possible while maintaining a 1.5 WHIP. 3) Even if the LOB% were to correct themselves, the fact remains that Chamberlain's peripherals would lead us to the conclusion that he wouldn't be able to provide league average pitching.

Have you read the thread?

If it isn't, you don't need to mention it.

But you can always find a flukey, unsustainable statistic that allows for such strange happenings. Where is this fluey, unsustainable statistic in Bucholz' case?

Even though all of Chamberlain's peripherals declined to the point of absurdity, his mechanics are inconsistent, his fastball velocity variates wildly, and he was just as homer prone as Bucholz. All of Bucholz' negatives, none of his positives. Also xFIP (which is superior to FIP btw) lists the following: Clay: 4.09 Chamberlain:4.56 Yeah, i'll say he's more of a sure thing.

At least he's not smug.

I believe they actually don't wanna sell low on him. He's still really young and could bounce back.
