#57@Field39:
He’s an NL pitcher, no, an NL West pitcher pitching home games in Petco Park. Yes, he is very good, maybe even great, but I bet he is not viewed as an elite (among other teams’ FOs), no matter that Cy Young.
#101@Stephen: Last year Jake posted a 2.51 ERA at home and a 2.57 ERA on the road. I am going to go out on a limb and say that every GM in baseball would take Jake in a heartbeat.
#101@Stephen: He is one of the five or 10 best pitchers in baseball.
#100@Kevin: That slightly favors Cameron before park effects.
#101@Stephen: He’s considered by most to be one of if not the best pitcher in baseball.
#102@Field39:
My post and the last sentence of your post are not mutually exclusive.
Maybe I’m just a little steamed at Jake, then. But he’s still a National League pitcher, and that is a strike against him in any talk about top pitchers in the game. And the fact he’s stunk in his few postseason games. I think there’s also questions about his durability and injury risk being higher than normal.
#102@Field39: Is he really? For his career, he has a 2.83 ERA at home, 3.77 on the road. Granted some of his road stats are skewed (5.54 ERA in 66.2 IP in Arizona, 4.60 in 45 IP in Colorado) but he’s not been outstanding in SF (3.76) or LA (3.30) either.
Don’t get me wrong, that 3.77 road ERA is still pretty good but it might not reallly be elite. Since he became a full-time starter in 2003, all these pitchers had a road ERA better then his 3.50: Clemens, Santana, Webb, Zambrano, Halladay, Schmidt, Smoltz and Kelvim Escobar (minimum 350 IP). At home, only Smoltz and Oswalt were better. Overall, just Johan, Clemens and Smoltz were better.
Actually, that might be elite, especially if he can pitch like he is this season for the next few seasons.
Pitchers with more win shares than Peavy from 2005 to 2007: In order, Santana, Webb, Oswalt, Lackey, Halladay, Zambrano.
That’s with Peavy having an off year in 2006.
98: I sure hope so. With Myrow call-up, Clark should be ready to pack up his bag and move on to a contending team around ASB. I just hate to see Myrow getting jerk around after putting all those great numbers in AAA without having a chance to prove himself at the ML level.
I’m think Clark may net a single A level fireballers or some injured AAA pitcher with good peripherals.
re: Peavy, if he’s available, better deals than Sabathia’s and Harden’s are coming this way given his contract status. Should the Padres trade him? It’s a thought.
