GDT, Tues 7/3 vs Yanks

[Garmel]

Man, if not for a great play we'd be tied.

[nsacpi]

Do we take a chance on DFA'n him? His K9 is over 11, and era in low 3s

we've already done it 2 or 3 times

[Enscheff]

Offense really shut down after leaving the bases loaded eh??

[USMA76]

Looks like the cheap home runs are pretty much even. It doesn't make this ballpark's dimensions any less of a farce.

[UNCBlue012]

So close.

[The Chosen One]

Mother. Effer.

What are your projections for Newk?

If all I came up with was drivel, surely yours will be much better. We will review who was right when the time comes.

Had a long reply type out and then my phone died. But to summarize what I was about to post:

1. Your qualifications are arbitrary and I'm willing to bet your list is wrong since I pointed out the last time you posted it that Liriano in 2012 fits that criteria. Gio Gonzalez was 1.1 innings away from qualifying in his 2nd season. And there are a host of other pitchers with similar seasons that just barely miss your criteria.

2. Of the pitchers you listed, only Perez had even 1 season with a BB rate below 4. Newk is poised to do so this year.

3. If he can keep his BB rate near or under 4, there is no reason he can't be a consistent 3-4 WAR pitcher over his controllable years like Kazmir, Gio, Ubaldo Jiminez, or Liriano.

[UNCBlue012]

Wow. The Yankees got so lucky.

[The Chosen One]

Oh for the love of...

[UNCBlue012]

I feel comfortable when I say this team is definitely a top team in the league, though. This is not a fluke.

[Heyward]

That sounded gone.

Acuna, pimping flyballs is lame. Knock it out, then pimp

That’s not what I asked.

I asked for your projection on Newk. No qualifiers, just a projection. We will compare it to my drivel.

[Braves1976]

flowers either calls all off speed or all fastballs lol

What projections are you asking for as I've already stated he should be a consistent 3-4 WAR pitcher. ERA? WAR? BB RATE? You're being pretty vague and I don't work for Baseball Reference or Fangraphs.
