    I think his celling was to be what a I call a No. 2 pitcher (3-3.5) but would have called it deal if he had posted as a No. 3 (3.5-4) Thing is he performed 3 years as a No. 5, 1 year as No.4 and 1 year as a No. 1, based on my ERA charts. Based on FG´s ERA estimators and WAR charts he was nothing but poor to awful pitcher most of the times in Boston uniform.

    He wasn't even average.
  3. iortiz
    Yes it is horrible, when you expected him to perform as a No. 3 pitcher and not as a No 5. most of the times. When 3 out of those 5 years in Boston (60%) were what fangraphs calls you role player, it is horrible in my book. To put it in context it is the 6th level out of 7 levels in that chart. Scrub 0-1 WAR Role Player 1-2 WAR Solid Starter 2-3 WAR Good Player 3-4 WAR All-Star 4-5 WAR Superstar 5-6 WAR MVP 6+ WAR

    No problem mate, all good!

    It is the one that is used in all ERA estimators (FIP, xFIP, SIERA, etc) and you can find it in the glossary at fangraphs web page.

    Nope, you are the one off. You don't like my chart, fine. Here's fangraph's chart. Excellent 3.20 Great 3.50 Above Average 3.80 Average 4.20 Below Average 4.40 Poor 4.70 Awful 5.00 It is close to may chart. Based on this chart Porcello had 2 awful years, 1 poor year, 1 average year and one excellent year. In my book, that is a bad tenure.

    Nahhh you say so to sound cocky. It is not a horrible metric if you know how to use it. In long samples as I’m presenting, it actually reflects very close what you are. But if you don’t like ERA, Porcello averaged a 2.5 fWAR throughout 12 Y of service — and he had four years below 2. That is a mediocre figure. Good WAR figures are above 3 based on fangraphs’ charts. Regarding ERA, your bar is too low. Here’s my ERA chart No. 1 pitchers = No 2 pitchers between 3—3.5 No 3 pitchers between 3.5—4 No 4 pitchers between 4—4.5 No 5 pitchers 4.5—4.9 Bum pitchers >=5 Based on this chart is fair to say that Porcello was horrible most of the times in Boston uniform.

    Sure, it counts but it was a fluke when you look at his career. He never posted something close to that. Geez it’s fair to say that most pitchers who win the CY are consistent and have several good to great years — ERAs around 3 and below. Porcello had only one year around 3. One — 2106, 3.15.
  9. iortiz
    LOL you bar is too low mate. 2016 4.92 (horrible) 2017 3.15 (very good) 2018 4.65 (horrible) 2019 4.28 (mediocre at best, bad in my book) 2020 5.52 (horrible) 2021 5.64 (horrible) Porcello was a horrible pitcher with a fluke year in his prime.
  10. iortiz
    Still 2 awful years, 1 mediocre (if not bad) and one great which was nothing but a fluke. It is still a bad tenure. Then if you add his first year in Boston uniform, you just confirm he was awful here most of the years aside one. That's it.
  11. iortiz
    Still, he had 3 awful years, 1 mediocre and 1 great which was kind of a fluke. In my book that is a bad line.
  12. iortiz
    Porcello in my book is bad other than that I agree.
  13. iortiz
    very few have fairly workout
  14. iortiz
    Again, Cora has to go. Unacceptable.
  15. iortiz
    Bloom will have flexibility next year. He will have to splash next year to keep his job. BTW Barnes was another mistake of Bloom.
  16. iortiz
    Hopefully your assessments on Bello are right mate. I just don't think he is ready since his "stuff" does not impress me yet.
  17. iortiz
    Thank you very much brother.
  18. iortiz
    Brasier should have been cut in Spring Training. I said this and some here defended him, the rest is history. Brasier is a bum and it won't change moving forward. Will be really surprised if Bloom does not DFA him tonight.
  19. iortiz
    Stay away from Jansen.
  20. iortiz
    Sure, everything is possible. Time will tell though.
  21. iortiz
    Yeah, hopefully the stars align in my favor LOL
  22. iortiz
    I haven't seen him in minors but what he has shown thus far in majors indicates me that either he is not ready (and is far to be as I see it) and/or his stuff is just poor. Minors and majors are two very different worlds. I have seen a lot of debuts of pitchers who are still kids and they step up since day one while showing what I call great stuff —command, control, dominance and a great repertory. Sorry but I just don't see the later on Bello, at least not yet. Said that, hopefully he improves and can make the rotation. We need pitchers badly.
  23. iortiz
    Bello is 4th? we are in trouble then.
  24. iortiz
    This division is going to be nothing but tougher in coming years. Bloom better execute like a surgeon doing a open heart transplant operation next offseason.
  25. iortiz
    Ort saw what happened to Sawa and Davis. He knew he had to pitch really good tonight otherwise the DFA guillotine could have taxed him as well LOL
