So.. the Kevin Cash Method...
-
And the bulk of them only get hits between 20% and 30% of their at bats. Failure is a bit part of hitting...
-
No but he certainly will be a candidate. Don’t forget one of the requirements for the Hall is a player’s career has to be a certain length (10 years, I believe). So my point is Street’s career was as long as many in the Hall, and he racked up enough appearances and innings to be comparable to those (who will likely be) in the Hall that filled the same role he filled. He had a long career that was not cut short by being rushed to MLB. Citing Kimbrel’s fWAR and Sutter’s IP (in a different role) and Hoss Radbourn’s equine tackling ability doesn’t change this. Cordero? His career was shortened by injuries, possibly due to being rushed. But Street? Nope. Nothing to suggest it…

It’s sort of like what Sir Edmund Hilary said when he reached the summit of Mount Everest. “It’s all downhill from here.”
-
How are you calculating save percentage? Saves/(saves + blown saves)?
-
You’re going to get a hernia if you keep moving those goal posts…
-
And speaking of Houston, they just signed Marwin Gonzalez…
-
Ok but Street has more career IP than Kimbrel, who I’m told is a future Hall of Famer. Even if Kimbrel does pass him sometime in the next 2 years, Street clearly did not have his career cut short due to skipping the minors…
-
Well pardon Huston Street for growing up in the era of the motor car and after the invention of the safety on guns. But since both of those Hoss Radbourn stories happened after Hoss retired from baseball, not sure how they equate to Street’s skipping the minors dramatically cutting his career short, considering he pitched in relief more times than Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter…
-
And look where that got ol’ Hoss. He’s dead now. Meanwhile Huston Street is still alive…
-
Houck in the pen with Whitlock, along with Barnes, Taylor, Hernandez, Davis, Sawamura, etc. Get two starters. Jarren Duran might be adequate trade bait to land a good one. Miami seems like a good fit given their over abundance of controllable quality starters and annual need to find a decent CF…
-
Yeah it was tough on Street, seeing his career truncated after a mere 12 years and 668 games…
-
Houck is 25 years old and so far has thrown 52 IP in 11 starts. While I wouldn’t call him a bust as a starter (which would be tough to do given his success), maybe it’s time to acknowledge that 160 innings per season just isn’t in his future. Again, he’s not some 22yo who played in Division 1 last year and needs to get acclimated to a 6 month MLB marathon. He’s already 25. Make him a reliever. Good relievers are needed anyway; not just closers…
-
And he hit about a well as Votto did as a baby…
-
But the occasional Chad Cordero or Huston Street would be nice…
-
It turns out Tony Clark negotiates like he hits. Too many misses…
-
Also with Boston, Schwarber has 12 walks in 42 PA For some perspective, Dalbec has 18 walks in 352 PA…
-
And on college he was a teammate of former Sox stud 1b Sam Travis…
-
He did get $10mill after being non-tendered…
-
True but that one year might be a relative bargain compared to the free agent alternatives in Correa, Seager and Story…
-
Can’t equate him to Roberto Duran, because that guy could actually hit…
-
The bulk of the OPS tends to be from OBP. Like before last night, Robles had a .554 OPS in recent outings for Boston, but about .350 of it was OBP…
-
Relievers who walk lots of hitters do see that heavily weighted in their OPSA. Like Robles, before he devices to let the slugging catch up last night…
-
The low OPS in the ninth is also heavily carried by Barnes’ pre-August dominance in that inning. And that a couple of his recent meltdowns happened in earlier innings (notably in Toronto)…
-
I think JoeBreidey and his love for the K/BB might have summed it up best…
