  1. No, I'm sure the quotes were accurate. They were also pretty harmless. The headline of the article was total ********, because it's Bleacher Report.
  2. Isn't ERA a team- and luck-dependent stat according to advanced metrics?
  3. 2.6 fWAR Kimmi, $20.4 million value to date. Not far below expectations *if you buy FanGraphs WAR for pitchers*.
  4. Ah yes, that highly respected and credible source, Bleacher Report.
  5. When you add up Buch's sample sizes, you get totals that reflect a slightly above average pitcher, but don't really reflect how incredibly erratic he has been.
  6. Be right, my friend, be right.
  7. Can't live in dreams, folks.
  8. I think it's 5 bad starts. 6.1 / 4 falls closer to mediocre than bad. 4 of the 5 bad starts came in his first 7, only 1 in his last 12. If he keeps trending like he has been he can still end up with a very strong season.
  9. But isn't a half season a small sample by your standards?
  10. I like the way he's trending though. Plus his high K rate suggests that his arm and velocity are just fine.
  11. His fWAR is 2.6. The dollar value is a multiple of that based on current free agent contract stats. His fWAR is higher than his ERA would indicate because of his FIP. (I know, you stopped reading already.)
  12. FanGraphs now has Price's dollar value at $20.4 million.
  13. Better than the offseason though. 4 more sleeps and we're back.
  14. If he's David Price I think you do.
  15. None taken, it's all just jibber-jabber anyway. But he pitched a few more innings last year than he did in 2013 so I don't really think it was cherry-picking.
  16. I will pin 2 losses on him out of 38. I have never disagreed that the 4-5 spots are the biggest problem.
  17. We're really not that far away, either. We're 11-8 in Price's starts. If we were 14-5 in his starts, we'd be in first place in the division.
  18. Fair enough, Slasher said that. As Cycles said above, we need both to be better. Price looks like he'll hold up his end of the bargain.
  19. Oh I know. It's just that there does seem to be an ongoing commentary that Papelbon is on the verge of totally losing it. Since coming off the DL he's pitched 4 innings with 8 K's, no walks and 1 hit allowed.
  20. But no one said he was the biggest problem.
  21. A few people suggested maybe Price should be doing better than a 4.7 ERA and it was interpreted as blaming him for everything.
  22. His ERA for 2015 was 3.26.
  23. You don't have to throw smoke to get 3 guys out, just ask Koji.
  24. Not to mention Ellsbury's little adventure out there with Beltre.
