He didn't compare Vazquez with Halladay either. Come on, focus on the post, not the poster.
-
I never compared him to Halladay.
-
No, but he was a steal.
-
He had a WAR of almost 5.0 in those 3 years with FIPs in the 3.80 range.
-

No they're not a lock. Yanks had only 2/5 pitchers with 30+ starts and 200 IPs and still won the WS. I'm not concerned about that. They replaced Wang/Mitre with Vasquez, and Joba is now on his 2nd full year as starter, so they should be even better. I mentioned it because of the "A lot when right..." part. You posted the same counterarguments I read on this forums against the 2009 Yankees, last offseason. And explain me Joba's extensive injury history, as a 24 year old.
-
It's their new trend .
-
Using injury histories as an argument.
-
I think Joba and Phil are still considered young guys with potential.
-
Oh ok. That totally proves he's better than Javier Vasquez. Thanks.
-
I'm not trolling. Come on, post their FIPs, xFIPs and tRAs. Or at least go check them and prove yourself wrong.
-
He has been using xFIP on many threads lately. Not this time. Because it doesn't suits his argument.
-
Any team on baseball would kill to have Hughes and Joba competing for their 5th spot. That's a good predicament.
-
Montero was ranked the #5 prospect in baseball according to BA. John Manuel calls him, "The minors best hitter".
-
I'm not comparing Hughes to Wakefield. 1. Agree, but they think he could develop into a reliable MLB starter, and that's more valuable than a reliever. 2. 146 IP in 2006, 105 IP last year. Minor league innings also count. Around 150 IPs would be his limit.
-
If they need a starter, they could stretch Hughes and place him in the rotation. They could be more inclined to do it, if the rest of the pen, Marte, Robertson, Aceves, Gaudin, Melancon and the rest, are doing a great job. Do you understand that? Jesus... Remember 08, when they removed Joba from the pen to fill a rotation spot. They did it because the bullpen was doing great back then, it's exactly the same situation. Hopefully, they'll stretch him out more slowly this time, and he won't go down with an injury. Hughes has an advantage because he has no history of arm related injuries.
-
I mentioned them two posts ago, if you didn't read. And they don't have to do better, just get the job done.
-
Because they needed someone for 8th inning role. Hughes was doing an awesome job there.
-
I said "they could". I'm pretty sure they'd prefer to do that rather than put Mitre out there. Especially if the guys like Melancon and Robertson excel in the bullpen.
-
Joba/Hughes. Whoever ends up in the pen could be the 6th starter.
-
-
That's not a sure thing.
