2014 Offseason

The strength of The AL over the NL is way overblown IMO

Depends on what you're talking about. It is definitely measurably harder to pitch in the AL.

 

[romeo212000]

Used to put pday on ignore when his arguments starting turning into "opinions vary" for everything

I actually think he's the one I had on ignore till his act got tired on the Cowboys board and he got banned.

Yeah, like romeo said, what are you referring to?

 

[romeo212000]

i have tried to use it on him it doesn't work.

How could it not work? I don't have some special mod powers to override the ignore feature.

 

[Bmurph]

if the trade goes down i would think 4.25

I think you'll see better results from him this year, pitching so close to home and in a contract year. He won't be a sub 3 ERA guy or anything but I expect good pitching from him if the trade goes down

Oh man...Yes.

I think some mix of who he was the last 2-3 years

 

[scotsman1948]

see he can't resist

 

[romeo212000]

Neither can you apparently. PUT ME ON IGNORE!!!

maybe but his trend seems to be other way and with the DH in the AL i think his ERA would go up to the 4+ ERA range

His road splits are promising though. Should play well in places like Oakland and Seattle.

well if it goes down i hope you are right we'll see

See Matt Harrison, better GB rate, better K rate, worse walk & HR rates

like i said have to wait and see. the trend over the last couple years and throwing in the DH say his ERA goes up but you could be right

Last year was his best ERA since 2010 and his lowest WHIP since 2011, lowest BB/9 innings of his career and career high ground ball %.... I'll take that trend,

he's learned how to be a pitcher that pitches to more contact, he also has a little bit of strikeout ability

okay i misread the stats so thought he had a higher ERA last season so i concede to your argument

And actually I was wrong as well, it was a career low ERA for him 3.51, 3.52 in 2011

 

[scotsman1948]

then i was really wrong. i saw his 2013 ERA and thought it was last year's

Looks like, potentially, some combo of LuJax, Williams & Sardinas

I like LuJax, but after his rough AAA stint, inability to develop a 3rd pitch and the prevailing thought that people think he was injured while in AAA, getting something for him is not bad

Got a link? I was wondering if Jackson might be included, and Sardinas isn't a bad inclusion either. I do hope they're eating some salary if we're including those three.
