SenorGato Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 felix doubrant must have came close last year Doubront put up 9.3 K/9 and does not have bad stuff at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWWombat Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yes, heavily influenced by the matchups the Royals used him in. He faced almost double the amount of RHs than he did left handers. Davis did not benefit from such matchups (150 RH PAs vs. 130 LH PAs), but was still better across the board. Coleman's stuff and abilities are more than fine for the role the Royals have him play. These are pitches (all from the same outing) where Davis showed off some of that bad stuff of his: 97 MPH fastball: Cutter to a lefty: Cutter in on a righty: Curve for a strike: Curve for a strikeout: I would be more impressed if those weren't taken from a FanGraphs article entitled "Wade Davis: The Best Case Scenario." http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/wade-davis-the-best-case-scenario/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yes, therefore those pitches don't really exist. Guys with bad stuff never throw pitches with that kind of quality and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Doubront put up 9.3 K/9 and does not have bad stuff at all. His problem was he seemed to fall apart the minute anyone got on base in the middle innings. Agree though that he looks like a guy that could be a big winner if he works through that issue.

Sharrow Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Gotta say that Gato looks pretty bad in this thread. How can you let chowds get the best of you like that? You're embarrassing our fan base again. Wade Davis would have fit in well on the Pirates' squads of the last 20 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Meh. I expect full silence when Davis breaks out for KC's rotation this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha ... everytime I watch Wade Davis in 2013, rest assured, sir, I shall be thinking of you. May he do horribly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyFog Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Meh. I expect full silence when Davis breaks out for KC's rotation this year. Lol ... so you've been wrong on pretty much everything: - Davis vs Teheran - Teheran vs Delgado - Braves/Diamondbacks trade ... other than that, all your points were great. Belichick wins again.

SenorGato Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Lol it's been two months and Teheran still sucks. At least Delgado can still pick up the strikeout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyFog Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Lol it's been two months and Teheran still sucks. At least Delgado can still pick up the strikeout. Wrong, Teheran's been okay.

SenorGato Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Wrong, Teheran's been okay. And Delgado has been an unmitigated DISASTER. Don't sugarcoat. If an ERA pushing 5 with a below average K rate is OK, then sure. Delgado's at least in one of the toughest pitching environments in the minors to do his sucking, and beyond the BB/9 I find his 2012 periphs more interesting than Teheran's 2013 ones. Not to mention Teheran is a short RH with mediocre offspeeds and fastball velocity...Yawn...I almost fell asleep just writing that out its such a boring profile.

After crushing it this spring training, Teheran's ERA this moment, at 8:34pm, is 4.17. He's pitching right now against the Twinkies. He's been far from good, but it's unfair to say he's sucked. Delgado has been wretched all year in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just saying. Wade Davis would do unspeakable things to switch lives with Julio Teheran right now. Meh. Some regression in the HR/FB and his BB rate and he'll be fine. I'd like to see where Teheran is gong to find some strikeouts. I will OTOH give Teheran some props for raising his GB rate, going to his two seamer more, and limiting the free passes. He's Rick Porcello with a better D behind him, less groundballs, less fastball, and no DH to worry about. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyFog Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah I'm honestly not a huge Teheran fan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
