Actually it is.
Peraza debuts for Dodgers
- Thread starter rico43
- Start date
Actually it is.
If you are considering #2 starters TOR pitchers then you are flat out wrong about TOR getting well over 200 IP consistently. Last year there were only 12 pitchers that logged over 215 IP (215 IP is like 6.3 IP per start). And only 31 pitchers period had over 200 IP at all. There were like 20 pitcher in all of baseball last year that averaged much more IP per start than Wood is doing this year.
In 2013 there were only 8 pitchers that logged over 215 IP

Fair point, i'd still like to see him go deeper into games though.
By most peoples definitions it is not.

Am I wrong? I thought you used to like Olivera. What changed? Well besides his team.
So what would you consider a #2 starter? Top 20 in baseball? Top 30?

I dont think Wood is top 20-30, so yeah i guess.
Well since 2013 Wood's FIP is 25th and his ERA is 26th among qualified starters. So yeah I would consider him a top 30 MLB starter.

With declining velocity but ok Bill James.
I'm sorry you have a problem with basic stats.

Umm i threw stats out too and you acted like it was blasphamous.
What stats did you use? Higher K rate? That's incorporated into FIP. Wood is better than a lot of people on here give him credit for.

No I do like him. I drafted him in my dynasty fantasy baseball league.
But I don't like the cost at all to get him. Hate it actually. I also had no idea he had so many injury issues.
In the end, if he stays healthy - I think he can be a good player. But the cost of acquisition was outrageous. We won't need him till he's 32

Why are you even trying
Sadly I have nothing better to do atm
Thought it was known he changed his pitch arsenal to get more movement instead of velocity.
What would you consider #1 starter, cause there are pretty much more than 12 of those:
Price, Kershaw, Grienke, Felix, Sale, Scherzer, Cueto, Lester, Bumgardner, Wacha, DeGrom, Arrieta, Harvey, Wainwright, Sonny Gray, Gerrit Cole, Kluber.
I'd also put guys like Chris Archer, Keuchel, Lance Lynn, and Shelby Miller up there if they finish this season the way they've pitched so far. That's pretty much 20 #1 starters there
Wood is 27th in FIP and 33rd in WAR among pitchers from 2014-2015.
