I think we know what he's/she's trying to say, but are disagreeing with his assumptions. I've read his posts and just don't agree with his/her thought process on the matter.
Is this baseball or are we judging highdiving at the olympics? Massaging stats to fit an argument is just nonsensical to me.
Saying "his bad start came before a DL stint" is a far better talking point.
Then what's the point of this? We're taking about Jake Peavy, not a hypothetical pitcher. He has starts where he gets lit up. You can't pretend they don't happen.
Nope. Discounting poor performances is silly. That start is a part of who he is. Taking it out of his season stats renders his season stats incomplete and unusable. You can't pretend that he didn't stink up the joint a gave his team zero chance of winning that day.
All of this. Just because the team is doing well, doesn't mean the Sox have to dump their prospects. Ride this wave and enjoy it. Lee is too old and too expensive to demand a huge price tag. The window isn't closing anytime soon.
