Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

Cmon man. How many "number 3" starters have a significantly below average ERA? Since he's come up, Wood has the 23rd best ERA of any starter. Is Lance Lynn a 3? Jake Shields?

Since Wood has come up:

Wood 8.23 k/9, 2.64 bb/9, 0.66 hr/9, 3.10 ERA, 3.17 FIP, 3.42 xFIP, 6.4 WAR
Miller 7.50 k/9, 3.18 bb/9, 0.91 hr/9, 3.11 ERA, 3.87 FIP, 4.02 xFIP, 5.3 WAR

What is Miller a 3 or a 4?

This year Miller has taken a step forward... Wood a step back. Funny hearing you use ERA as your main point when you laugh at anyone else using it.

Wood is at worst a #2. I've always been interested in trading him though.

Same... for an impact prospect or established bat

You would have a point if his FIP wasn't even better, which projects him nicely in the future.

so his "step back" is one of the top 20 pitchers in the national league? Is Teheran a 5 then since he took a step back this year?

Teheran is definitely not a TOR starter right now, and Alex Wood is not a top 20 pitcher this year. Of course, you think Strasburg is an ace so I can't argue with you.
