  1. Maybe, but also it might depend on how many number 2’s and 3’s there are in MLB. If you think it’s about 30 #2’s, then I would think there is a big gap between a top #2 and a top #3, but maybe they aren’t that far apart.
  2. Gray would not be for7 years, but he would cost a pick. I agree with you: after Yano, Monty and Gray might be the best left.
  3. It’s a convenient way to group starters, or so I thought, but there are so many differing views on what a 1, 2 and 3 SPer is, I am agreeing, too. I’d be happy to see us sign Monty, but I still hope we find a way to make him the second best pitcher we add. Yes, it’s a dream.
  4. I thought he said back end 2 to Frint end 3.
  5. A pitcher can pitch great, his team wins and he gets a no decision. A pitcher can pitch like crap and get the win. I don’t think GMs are happy with their starter, if he lets up7 runs, but the he gets the win. I think a GM is happy with SPers who keep them in as many games as possible by allowing fewer runs than the norm- win or lose. Sure, he wants his team to win, but I doubt he keeps a 7.00 ERA pitcher around because he goes 17-9 over a season.
  6. Yes, and the point is other stats show who are better pitchers than their record
  7. I’m in Disney World for 5 days. BD present for the wife and daughter. (Not used to so much walking!)
  8. I’m texting from my phone, today. I’m not used to it, and I can’t see what I type. I think my spell check is set on British not American.
  9. And it’s still as messed up as ever. Both the wins and saves rules are so messed up, and with pitchers not going as deep into games, these days, these middle RPers are getting more and more of the decisions based on when they came into the game and not how well they did.
  10. I’d like to bd fly on the wall listening in on Brez & Co.’s talks on who are their top priority targets. The players they are discussing might be way off from our discussions. Some may surprise us, greatly.
  11. The Sox went 22-9 u Dee Clemens that year. The list a game 1-0 and 2-1 with him on the mound.
  12. We disagree with each other, all the time. We don’t seek to all be alike. I do t see very much acrimony between most of us.
  13. Yes! 64-24 from2018-2021 team record.
  14. It’s called giving an opinion and providing evidence and reasoning to support it. It does not mean we don’t understand or accept others positions or that we are trying to change their opinions.
  15. For someone who chides us for never letting go or accepting that we agree to disagree, you go on and on, just like we do. You continually bring up past opinions you think were wrong, correct? What’s the difference?
  16. Maybe, we should outbid everyone for ERod. The team won a ton when he started! He even got the Tigers to go 14-12, in his starts, this year. They went 64-72 in his non start games.
  17. I can understand why he would want this topic discussion to end.
  18. Looking at the team record in a pitcher’s starts and comparing it to the team record in non starts has more value than a pitcher’s W-L record. The way they decide which pitcher gets the win is awful. Often enough, one of the worst pitchers in the game gets the win.
  19. Nobody did in their first 5 picks
  20. When many starters used to 7-9 innings, the W-L stat meant more, but these days it’s crazy.
  21. I’d say the same about Monty, if he wasn’t a FA. He’s somewhere between the 15th and 30th best over the last 3 year, IMO. He’s tied for 49th in wins.
