So much for bWAR, huh? It's the 24 HR in 72 IP I couldn't get past. Those are "career over" numbers.
-
I try to be on board with some advanced numbers, but my stopping point is FIP without the x.
-
Right, and a combined 2.1 bWAR for 2022-2023. Average of 1.05. Not great for a guy throwing that many innings.
-
It was notin who dragged Nate's 20 bad innings into this.
-
You're not using the right numbers for Giolito. His 2023 total bWAR was 1.6, after a 0.5 in 2022.
-
Not if you count Giolito's whole season.
-
And a 19.25 million AAV is a lot to allocate to a 3/4 starter.
-
He was really good in 2019-2021. His 2022 wasn't great.
-
Eovaldi was coming back from the IL and had a few rough games before straightening out in the postseason. Giolito was horrible for 14 games, almost half a season. It's just not a valid comparison.
-
Include innings please.
-
Career ERA 4.43 Career FIP 4.44 He's been good, bad and ugly over his career, netting out as supremely mediocre. Hated the signing. Dumpster dive with no upside. If he pitched well he'd opt out after 2024.
-
Giolito gave up 24 HR in his last 72 IP and he was our big pitching acquisition. That might qualify as moronic.
-
I think if insuring big contracts for pitchers was affordable, every single one would be insured...
-
Yes. But in this case the team would already have performed an exam and I assume would provide all the material to the insurer. So it would be a second exam that might reveal an issue the first exam didn't show. Would the Players Association be OK with that?
-
I wonder if the insurers get to conduct their own medical exams.
-
All's I know is Henry doesn't believe in it, and I'm guessing he crunched a number or two before arriving at that conclusion.
-
We'd probably need a look-see at the premiums first.
-
Giolito's actual theme song last year was "Charlie Brown".
-
It's a little better than that because it's a team option for what would have been the second year of free agency. If something bad happens they don't exercise that option. Overall I think this was a good move.
-
Yeah, it was really all about s***** luck. Not sure if Giolito qualifies.
-
I did say I was gonna puke if they signed Giolito, so I'm not just buzzarding on him.
-
And if they don't replace Giolito and the innings he was expected to pitch, they're asking for disaster.
-
Giolito was a dubious signing because of the way he ended 2023.
-
Alanis Morissette would say it was ironic.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
