LOL.. want to go down Kennedy's shit numbers again and explain how its worth 2 more years and 25 million more?
His 3.70 xFIP is very shitty, sure.
And his peripherals were still ass. There's a good reason nobody wants to touch him as if he were a leper. His HR/FB% was also abnormally low by his career's standards. Miller park is also a homer friendly park.
normal rate? The guy has had at least a HR/9 rate of 1 or more at least 7 times. He always has been a fucking meatball thrower. What is normal? 1.3 HR per 9 instead of 1.7? LOL
We're not talking HR/9, we're talking HR/FB%.
yeah.. and kennedy was on fire to the point he was worth 70 mil over 5 years... hahahahahaahah who the hell else was in on him? Nobody. The Royals were desperate. They signed a complete shit bag to a contract they are going to regret like a mo fo soon.
Says a Tigers fan who signed a guy projected to be average for 110 million.
It doesn't matter what his HR/FB% is when he gives up 25 HR+ all the time. He has been a full time MLBer for 8 years.. 4 of those years he has given up at least 26 hr.. that is ass.
i am sorry.. but you comparing kennedy to zimmerman is fucking hilarious.
3.70 x FIP vs 3.82 for Zimmerman. Not particularly all that different going forward with Zimmerman's declining K-rate.
Kennedy walks 3 batters a game and damn near gives up a HR for every start he is in... LOL.. seriously.. enjoy that piece of shit..
Yet Kennedy has the better xFIP. Zimmerman's K-rate tumbled and probably isn't coming back. He'll be a 3.80 ERA guy going forward most likely.
If he strikes out over 9 (or even 8) like he has the past two years. That's not so big a deal.
