Wins Above Replacement for Pitchers From BBR “A single number that presents the number of wins the player added to the team above what a replacement player (think AAA or AAAA) would add. This value includes defensive support and includes additional value for high leverage situations. Scale: 8+ MVP Quality, 5+ All-Star Quality, 2+ Starter, 0-2 Reserve, Developed by Sean Smith of BaseballProjection.com”
-
He is actually at reserve level based on the BBR chart. Between 0-2. He is not even at the Starter level (average) —2+ bWAR.
-
Again, look at the charts. He is something between average and below average. I understand what you are trying to do here, but it doesn’t work that way. Also if you have more bad years than good in most of your career you can’t be a good pitcher. It’s that simple.

Ball game gentlemen!

Incredible how this Toronto BP implodes over and over agin against us in late innings.
-
Alex f Verdugo! Lol
-
Valdez has been pitching pretty well.
-
Also in terms of bWAR, he is a 1.7 bWAR pitcher through 11.4 years. The bWAR average is 1.9 bWAR. He is below average in that category as well.
-
As you said, that is a flawed method. I think I told you before. For instance a career 2.6 fWAR pitcher can't be a No. 1 by any means. This is why fangraphs, baseball reference and other sources have their rule-of-thumb charts for each stat which actually consider large samples. In those charts Porcello consistently ranks in most of them, between the Average-Below Average level as I have been presented.

Chavis in his last days in Boston uniform.
-
Geez he didn't tag man
-
Carita!
-
yeah and he is actually imploding right now.
-
I like Duran and all but I think I would put Verdugo in the second slot and unload a bit the pressure in Duran. Verdugo!
-
Oh I see, thanks. I heard something about that but didn't put so much attention. Also, Hopefully JD is oks.
-
Is Xander oks?
-
I have to check it twice but the kid Toronto is going to send to the mound has pitched well this season —in AAA.
-
Sure, ERA+/ERA- are great indicators and actually they are not far of his other ERA estimators. IMO Skill-Interactive ERA (SIERA) reflects better his profile since it considers BABIP. Porcello is a contact pitcher so SIERA could be a bit more accurate of what Porcello is/was. Said that his main career ERA estimators like FIP, xFIP and SIERA are 4.06, 4.04 and 4.1. All in the same neighborhood which suggest you a 4-4.1 number represents what he is/was. 4-4.1 is something between average and below average, based on FanGraphs' charts. Rating SIERA Excellent 2.90 Great 3.25 Above Average 3.75 Average 3.90 Below Average 4.20 Poor 4.50 Awful 5.00 Rating FIP Excellent 3.20 Great 3.50 Above Average 3.80 Average 4.20 Below Average 4.40 Poor 4.70 Awful 5.00 Rating xFIP Excellent 2.90 Great 3.20 Above Average 3.50 Average 3.80 Below Average 4.10 Poor 4.40 Awful 4.70

I think Sale will be ready in late August, if so.
-
Also, regarding his career OPS against, it is below average. It is 750. League average? 730.
-
Actually no. His ERA, FIP, xFIP, SIERA, fWAR, bWAR are between average and below average based on Fangraphs’ charts. Rating RPE Excellent 2.90 Great 3.20 Above Average 3.50 Average 3.80 Below Average 4.10 Poor 4.40 Awful

I think Perez has done way more in most of his starts than I expected.
-
I put the rep of the 8th inning on both NESN and YES. Quoting NESN announcers, "It was the best game of the year". YES announcers were kind of shock.
-
We were talking about his career fWAR Bell, which as I said it still has flaws specially for contact pitchers, but it is still a decent indicator of value in large samples —11+ years. His 2020 fWAR should be taken with a grain of salt not only because is one-year analysis but a 60-game season.
