    Yankees scored 867 runs and Texas scored 855 Kansas City scored 730 runs and Toronto scored 743 Cleveland scored 704 runs and Tampa scored 707 They're pretty even. This whole AL East thing doesn't mean anything if he isn't pitching against New york and Boston.

    Anaheim's lineup wasn't far behind Tampa's and of course Beckett doesn't have to face Boston. You had the Yankees and then some average to slightly above average. The Royals offense was as good as Tampa's last year if not better.

    I was thinking Titans such as Texas and Anaheim vs Titans such as Baltimore.

    What's funny is Beckett has a 3.89 road ERA and Fister has a 3.96 road ERA and Beckett has a higher road FIP.

    I'm going by his career 115 ERA+ not 2011. He also had no problem pitching against the Yankees in game 5 at Yankee stadium or beating Texas in Game 3. In 2011 he gave up more than 3 runs to an AL east team twice and that was Toronto and Baltimore. He had starts of 7 or more innings and 3 runs or less on the road against New York and Tampa. He also would've been too new to get in on the chicken and beer.

    It's a shame because if you would've acquired Fister you likely wouldn't have suffered through the worst collapse in baseball history. You keep saying he's a product of his stadium, yet his ERA+ which accounts for the ballpark is exactly the same as Beckett's.

    If you aren't giving up base runners, you can't give up runs. Pretty simple concept so walk rate is important. If you give up zero walks and get hit hard, you'll only give up solo shots. Jon Lester has an almost identical flyball and line drive percentage as Fister so I guess Lester gets hit hard? Beckett gives up an even higher percentage of flyballs and line drives. Again, all you do is dwell on the stadium. His ERA+ is still the same as Beckett's. It's only 3 behind Buchholtz. Keep your Beckett and his chicken and beer.

    You continue to evade the fact that Fister leads all the Boston pitchers in the half dozen stats I provided and keep going back to ERA+ in which case they don't have much of an advantage. Again, how does stadium effect BB/9? Part of what makes Fister a valuable pitcher is he limits walks and base runners. If he was an 8 K/9 guy, he would be a Cy Young contender given all his other peripherals. How can you just throw out BB/9? At what point then does sample size not matter? That's over 2 full seasons. 10% of his flyballs are popups. Comerica beyond popular belief is middle of the pack in park factors. It's around league average in HR

    Flyball pitcher? He has a 47% career groundball rate. Like I said he has a better ERA, FIP, BB/9, K/BB, WHIP, HR/9, please, what stats are being omitted? You're hanging your hat on ERA+ which is the exact same as Beckett and 3 less than Buchholtz. So lets just say 90% of the stats.

    The guy who said the Tigers don't have much after Verlander Cherry pick stats? I gave you a whole list. You only came up with one stat. That would be cherry picking Not sure where you're pulling numbers, but I have a 3.90 ERA on the road and 3.10 at home according to fangraphs. His FIP at home is 3.40 and 3.70 on the road. Ballpark still doesn't factor into the fact he has a better BB/9 and BB/K ratio. What difference does it make if he's a White Sox? i'm assuming you're a Red Sox fan. I could say the White Sox had a better roatation than Boston but you'd likely disagree

    Dice K and Lackey are Red Sox pitchers, are they not? I said Fister had better numbers which he does. The Tigers rotation isn't just verlander. Fister is a capable #2. His home and away splits are not drastically different. He's a groundball pitcher. Safeco doesn't apply when he's not giving up many flyballs. Perhaps if Boston traded for Fister instead of Bedard they wouldn't have collapsed. His HR/9 at home was 0.62 and 0.8 on the road. Not a big difference.

    Well Fister's career ERA+ is the same as Beckett's, and his 115 is only 3 points lower than Buchholtz. Fister still has a better ERA, FIP, WHIP, BB/9, BB/K than all of Boston's starters. Maybe it's just me but I would rather have Fister than have 180+ million wrapped up in Dice-K and Lackey.

    If you're giving up on Youkilis after 12 games, they can trade him to the Tigers for Delmon Young.

    Casper Wells, Charlie Furbush, Chance Ruffin, and Francisco Martinez. The only one of note is Martinez but the Tigers have Castellanos.

    Fister has a better career ERA, FIP, and WHIP than Lester, Beckett, Bucholtz, Lackey and Dice-K

    Well I was using their career numbers so those are "back to earth" numbers. Before Verlander had his dominate year last year, there wouldn't be much separation between Verlander and Fister. Verlander has the ability to throw a no hitter every time he takes the mound. Fister is going to get a lot of ground balls, no walks, and no home runs.

    Nice hyperbole. Apparently the stats are too hard for you to comprehend.
  21. OriginalUsername
    I think the Tigers could say the same thing. The Tigers bullpen blew the first save and gave up 5 runs this game.

    Fister has a career FIP of 3.53. Verlander is a career 3.48 FIP. Verlander has a career whip of 1.19 and Fister is 1.17. Fister has a BB/9 of 1.69 and Verlander is 2.80. Fister is underrated.

    He was pretty good in Seattle too. If the Red Sox would've acquired Fister instead of Bedard last year they likely wouldn't have had the most epic collapse in baseball history. Oh well.

    Doug Fister is a good pitcher. If he pitched in "Red Sox nation" we wouldn't be hearing the end of Fister. Just look at his stats last year. It was near the top of the league in most categories. The rotation is pretty solid.

    Beckett must have been having chicken and beer between innings. I also can't believe how much weight Ortiz has lost. I guess he finally kicked the steroids.
