Very good is a great thing moon lol What did I miss? Somehow you and mvp are trying to minimize the adjetive.
-
Thing with Mo, which is the most impressive thing among relievers is that he was very good for a very long period of time. Very few are close to that achievement. Papelbon is one lol
-
I just gave u my rule-of-thumb for relievers based on fWAR. Barnes had three years below 1. One at 1 and two years just above 1. That’s it.
-
Yeah, no problem. I love what Barnes has showed this far. Hopefully he continues this way.
-
I would say that a fWAR between 2-3 makes you good to very good reliever. Something between 1-2 makes you an average to above average reliever.
-
Managing Percentiles in this case does not make sense. If you suck you suck, it doesn’t matter if most people suck.
-
Good fWAR numbers for relievers could be translated to very good since they don’t have a lot of innings.
-
He never was very good. His best fWAR year was 1.3. It’s that simple.
-
Thing is those players you are pointing out had bad years too, but at their prime they had very good years.
-
Nope.

Thing is that plenty of new variants are already out there and some vaccines do not work well against some. I have read as well that not only new variants but new strains of COVID are out there which is more worrying because the actual vaccines protect you only against COVID19 virus strain. -
Reading that Arroyo is working his D at 1B. Interesting.
-
He actually had 2 negative fwar years which is very bad.
-
It could definitely change for reliever players but still. Plenty of RPs have posted above 3.0 fWAR points in a single year which is considered a Good Player. Barnes has never been close to that level. His best year was a 1.3 fWAR.
-
Nope.
-
which is sad lol
-
Fangraphs' fwar rule-of-thump say that if you post something in between 1 to 2 fWAR points you are considered a role player. If you post something around 0-1 you are a scrub player. Baserd on that, Matt Barnes since 2014, has been 2 times a role player (and closer to be a scrub than solid which is the next level) and 4 times a scrub player. That's it. That's closer to bad than good in my book. That is very very very far from being very good folks.
-
If you rank 21th, you are not very good regardless the contest moon.
-
Porcello compared with very good starting pitchers is not very good even if you evaluate them with fWAR. His best fWAR year was a 5.1 figure. His other years were below 3 most of them which is not very good. David Price had a 6.7 fWAR in a single year. Scherzer, Verlander, Felix, etc were/are very good pitchers. Porcello is/was not.
-
You don't like ERA, fine! As I just said, a 3.5 fWAR RP from 2014 to 2020 is not a very good RP in my book. No way. Hader posted in a single year a 2.6 fWAR. Chapaman? a 3.2 fWAR in a single year. Papelbon a 2.8 fWAR in a single year. Koji a 3.1 fWAR in a single year. That's the definition of very good. Barnes? his best year was a 1.3 fWAR in 2109 —before 2021. OTOH if Barnes continues this way, He will end up with a 3+ fWAR figure this year which is the definition of very good. The list of very good RPs is long. Barnes simply doesn't belongs there —yet.
-
He is a 3.5 fWAR (which considers FIP) RP from 2014 to 2020. Where do you put that fWAR figure through that time for a reliever pitcher in your book? To put it in in context, Josh Hader who is actually a very good relief pitcher in my book has a 8.0 fWAR figure through 5 five years —1 plus year less than Barnes' period.
-
LOL I think I've more than positive this year, but I really think this team can win it all this year if the stars align. Every team has flaws, yeah, but ours are very fixable IMHO.
-
A 700 OPS against is not a very good number in my book. It is average. Again, you won't find a very good career pitcher with a 4.0 ERA career number. Simply there's noway, even if you want to minimize ERA.
-
SIERA, FIP, xFIP, etc. are pitcher's run prevention stats moon. They isolate pitcher's abilities. ZIPs, Streamer, FGDC and others always protect these estimators year after year, specially FIP. OPS against is a batted ball stat. It is not a run prevention stat by any means. If a RP allows three hits in every IP he pitches his OPS against goes up as hell, but he can still hold the inning without a run. This is why run prevention stats like FIP, xFIP, SIERA are more important than batted ball stats in RPs.
