True, although Richards was a lot better when he was cheating…
-
The jury is still out on Wacha, too. Just because the early returns are promising doesn’t quite make him a success just yet. But it just leaves me confused by your “1 for 5” comment…
-
It might be a little early to write off Hill and Paxton
-
The entire debate was around what metric is best used for player compensation. The owners had proposed using WAR. I don’t like that idea, but tell me how team wins should determine player compensation…
-
And Pivetta…
-
I think this is the reason stop my list on why WAR shouldn’t be used for compensation. What’s to stop Henry or some unscrupulous owner from buying up Fangraphs and having them modify WAR or to either save money or drive up rival costs? If Fangraphs tweaks their formulas, fine. I don’t care. That kind of thing happens everywhere. And it doesn’t Deivi up or done anyone’s pay…
-
True, but 100% irrelevant…
-
Wacha’s first 3 starts have all looked good…
-
Walls is a switch hitter. They don’t count warmup pitches, but I don’t think they’re completely ignored either…
-
And really, he might be the last hitter to reach 3,000 for a while. Unless 39yo Robinson Cano has 371 hits left in him…
-
2,999 hits
-
Clement’s problem was he destroyed his shoulder. His 3 starts after getting hit in the head were better than 3 before it…
-
Interesting Clement gets labeled a disaster. Until last year when Eovaldi joined him, Clement was the only Sox FA SP in recent years to be chosen for the All Star game…
-
Cost is why hit or miss pitchers get jobs at all…
-
They don’t. And they’re all very narrow…
-
You offered choices, and ones you never established as better….
-
The interesting thing about Richards is he was pretty hit or miss as a starter. But as a reliever he was a bastion of consistency…
-
And a couple guys named Martin Perez. Or were they both the same guy?
-
The Sox are paying Price and Sale $100 million for the remainder of their deals. You’re not souring me on Barnes and his comparative pocket change contract. At least he’s here and pitching…
-
Not since Price. Unless you count Sale…
-
Again I’ll use today’s terminology Relievers are not “hit or miss” pitchers. But “hit or miss” pitchers do usually end up as relievers.
-
I don’t think it should be used, but I stand by it being better than awards or awards and OPS or whatever…
-
Might as well make it alphabetical. I think we can all agree that Tim Anderson should be paid more than Angel Zerpa. So clearly this system is perfect. Or at least as good as awards…
-
Right. Your point was fWAR has too much flux and therefore is less concrete than the collective opinions of the BBWAA. You know, the people who thought Pedro Martinez was less valuable than Pudge Rodriguez, because Pudge had a .931 OPS and a Gold Glove. In that same year, Mike Lieberthal of the Phillies had a .931 OPS and a Gold Glove and didn’t get a single MVP vote. So the transitive property tells us in the NL, Pedro was practically worthless that year. As I said before, fWAR should NEVER be used for compensation. But that doesn’t mean any other completely random system like awards is better…

That’s how Hack Wilson got to 191…
