Wang = Future Ace


124

Recommended Posts

He might be a little inconsistent but he has the makings, if the Yankees keep him, to be an Ace a couple years from now.

But of course George won't be patient and will trade him away for Mark Kotsay. :evil:

I think it's a bit early to say he'll be the ace but I wouldn't say it's out of the question. Since his first start in the majors the guy has shown great poise which is rare for a guy who's new to the bigs.

A look at what Wang has done aside from the obvious 5-3 3.87

--Has gone at least 6 innings in 10 of 12 starts, 7 innings 5 times.

--Walked 3 or more batters only 3 times

--His worst numbers come on the first pitch. Opposing hitters are battting .347 with an 0-0 count, by far the best they do against him. If he can learn not to get so much of the plate on the first pitch he'll be even more effective.

No offense but the only thing colder then the Tigers bats (Save last Friday) these past 2 months is Anarctica.

Wang led the AL in wins and finished 2nd to Satana in the Cy Young balloting. Call him what ever you want, but he's the best starter the Yankees have.

That is like being the smartest kid on the shortbus. ;)

Wang IS the current ace on the Yankees pitching staff.

Who is currently ranked higher than he is? Mussina? Pettite? Johnson? Pavano?

I made this thread in 2005 proclaiming he would be and got a few posts saying no way, the reason for me bumping this up.
