Depends on the exit velocity the cannon generates.

Exactly.

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
Bellhorn04 replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I have no trouble with Yastrzemski. I just think 'Yaster - zemski', which is totally phonetic, then remove the first e. -
I think the Sox let Ellsbury walk and I think they were absolutely right to do so, and I think most Sox fans feel the same way.
-
I'd like to see the story.
-
The Yankees have really only declined the last few years. Between 1995 and 2012 they only missed the playoffs once.
-
I don't think the Sox made any serious attempt to re-sign Ellsbury.
-
How much did we offer Ellsbury?

It's a hallmark of the franchise. -
I have no doubt that exit velocity could be useful for analysis purposes. But at the same time it could be quite useless to the average fan. Personally I don't think it will ever add anything to my baseball experience.

It's just part of the technobabble of modern sports. In golf now you have 'clubhead speed', 'launch angle', 'spin rate', and 'ball speed'. It's not good enough anymore to just say the guy hits it a f'king mile.

They can put Clay on the DL for whiplash after last night.

Lie detector tests for team medical staff?

Chalk up another Sox Pitching Prospect Bust.

Clay, AKA Bastard 1, please pitch like you want to remain a member of the 2016 team. -
I think he also may have gotten a little ruined in the last World Baseball Classic he pitched in. His injury woes really started after that.
-
I think there's another team or two out there that would take him if they didn't have to give up much in return. As Sox fans we've been watching the guy so long that all we see now is his downside.
-
And people would be bitching like crazy right now if we signed Chen.
-
That's the idea, except it's Bastards instead of Things.
-
The Sox FO seems to be on a roll with their decisions. Swihart looked like a pretty legit outfielder last night.
-
Here's a fun pitching stat...and I realize BA is not the crucial stat it was once thought to be, but opponents are batting .098 against Kimbrel.
-
Some players do sustain higher BABip's over their careers, mainly because they hit more line drives, I think.
-
For what it's worth, over the three seasons from 2013 to 2015 Miley posted 5.9 fWAR and 4.6 bWAR while Buchholz posted 7.5 fWAR and 5.4 bWAR. I agree with your other points. Miley had significant advantages other than the quality of his pitching.
