That Chapman is only effective at 101mph+, at 97-99 he isn't effective postseason showed us that hes not a team player. And Janzen and Miller have better numbers in addition. He's elite but not quite at that Miller Kenley tier.
>>73931911
Jansen and Miller both had better peripherals than Britton.

Britton has been better the past 3 years. Period

Lol, k

>you won't run around and do my errands like my bitch
>being wrong is the only reason someone wouldn't want to listen to me

Jansen strikes out more batters, obviously. He also gives up more homers and runs. So....you interpret more runs as better for a pitcher, good for you lol

David Robertson is better than both lmao

>>73932410
No, but it is 2.32 over the past 3 years, nobody said his ERA last year was in the 2's

Britton's ERA in that frame is 1.38

If Britton was a FA would he have signed for more money than Chapman and Jansen?

>>73932500
Same neighborhood. Even Melancon got about as much

>>73932500
haha no he doesn't throw 100 MPH!!

>>73932523
per year I should say

why is SP ERA and Wins a meme but closer ERA and Saves isn't? Andrew Miller doesn't close but we know he's better than everyone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnLxFkWv5SM

Any oldfags remember?

>>73932500
Definitely not close to 90m
>>73932523
Didn't Melancon get 75 ish? That's considerably less

>Britton fags getting blown the fuck out in the post season and off season

>>73932567
Yeah, he got 1 less year because he's a little older but he's getting around the same amount per year

He's admitted himself that he only plays for money. Now that he has it, he has no reason to work on maintaining/improving his craft. He doesn't care about winning or being a good teammate or even his own effectiveness. He'll be north of 4.00 ERA for the rest of his career, and the Dbacks were dumb enough to go for it.

Best general of the year so far 2bhwu

Does ZG get into the HoF if he has 4 x 5 WAR seasons and 200 wins?

>>73933149
Among active pitchers he's top 10 his stint as the #2 behind Kershaw set him up for the first time in his career to pitch without any pressure. If he had a bad game nobody really paid attention, he was quietly putting up better sub 2.7 ERA's over 225+ without attracting attention

>>73933240
He was better before he became Kershaw's #2 so I don't know what you are getting at.

what with handegg concussing itself out of existence and all the normies getting bored of the same somewhat disappointing spectacle every year, the ones that are depraved enough to be devoted to sports will switch over to the patrician baseball fan life once their local team is on the up and they realize how unmatched it is in terms of storytelling potential, daily play and the simple genius of the game.

cubs WS win and game 7 has opened and re-opened the public's eyes to baseball. it's only a matter of time before it dominates the sports landscape once again

>>73934010
It won't just happen. And the mlb shouldn't pretend like it will. I love baseball and i would hate to see it change too much but they are going to need to start drawing more attention from young generations. I do think they are heading in the right direction though

>>73934241
And I want hockey to go away, but American pro sports are too big to fail.

>>73934203
I agree about this past season being huge in terms of gaining fans. Not just the postseason which was obviously one of the most entertaining ones we've seen in a while.
But i think alot of young players are starting to break out with a personality that's more fun then baseball used to be.

It slowly is. The Cubs winning the World Series is a sign it's going to make that distinction. Now if they keep winning, like the time period when the Red Sox won, baseball will be popular again. You need a historic team to be at the top for it to become relevant and that's what the Cubs are doing.

>>73947210
The Royals are number 3? They.... They know they are in the same division as them, right?

It's really sad that their most hated team isn't in their division. The jealous is mind boggling. And the number one complaint om the Indians isn't that they're division rivals, it's their "racist" logo.

Torres has a lot more upside than Didi, and Cashman should literally kill himself if he think otherwise. What'll most likely happen is Headley will get traded, with Castro moving to third base. That way, either Didi or Torres could play Second. If anything, Mateo is the one being blocked.

$13mill/year for the next two years. Not that big of a deal, and I'm sure the Yankees would be willing to take a chunk of his pay the way they're doing with McCann. Torres isn't projected to be MLB ready until 2018 anyways.

How so?
The NL has more intrigue and strategy due to the pitchers having to take their turn at the plate. Do I pull my pitcher now and burn another reliever or wait until his time in the order? Which pinch hitter should I use here? Do I walk the number 8 hitter or pitch to him? Do I want my pitcher to bunt or swing away?

Nope, pitching is better and the better teams have better pitching. Besides, a pitcher can be even more valuable than his AL counterpart if he proves himself a solid hitter. Look at Jon Lester or Madison Bumgarner for example.

i wouldnt have had an issue if my sox brought him back mainly due to how weak our lineup is after jose abreu and frazier, but he is so injury prone.

>>73954092
Just have to score 1 run man, even a team of 25 pitchers should be able to do that. Just manufacture a run by getting a guy on, HBP or something, and just move him over until the other team makes a mistake.

>>73953747
Memes aside, what would prevent someone from putting together a pitching staff of dominant relievers and having a 7-man starting rotation with each starter only going 3 innings or so? You'd just cycle through the "starters" and just have one lights out backup arm after another

>>73954309
There's like 20 good relievers in the entire league.

>>73955223
Shark is hot trash brother, the guy is seriously trash and will be SF's #2 after 2017 when Cueto leaves unless they resign him for 120M, Moore is good at times and was very good near the end of 2016 but was otherwise very mediocre. Ryu in his career has been better than both while pitching through a torn labrum. Wood is younger than them and is also better. Stewart would he SF's #1 prospect. And Kazmir at this point is whatever. You can be a homer. But don't be a deluded idiot. The only pitcher who has potential to grow is Moore who I belive can be great, everyone else, no. Blach is a bullpen piece. The guy will get lit the fuck up. Screenshot this psot and read it to yourself in June when SF begins to shop for SP.

>>73955328
Agreed, Moore flashes greatness but isn't consistent enough. Even then he's the obvious #2 if Evans decides to let him walk. That shark contract is cancer to the payroll.

Pitchers are expensive, brah. Kazmir for instance is getting paid $17 mil per year to pitch 50 innings of 4.5 ERA ball.
