That's why I wanted to keep Montero until Seattle eventually gave in but we wasted our biggest chip on Michael fukking pineda
Felix Hernandez is rotting in Seattle
- Thread starter the cool
- Start date
What am I missing? The guy who allows fewer baserunners per 9 and who has a lower career adjusted ERA (which accounts for different ballparks) is the lesser pitcher? The guy who is clearly having a better season than Felix for the 2nd consecutive year isn't as good? Is it because he doesn't have the nickname "King"? I don't see it.
Felix in 2009-2010 was the better pitcher but now.....it's Weaver. Times change, catch up.

Where are you getting your WAR stats from? Even though I would expect Felix to have a higher WAR since Weaver spent time on the DL this year, both ESPN and baseballreference have Weaver with a higher WAR this year.[/B] Weaver leads the league in ERA, WHIP, hits per 9 innings, and adjusted ERA. No way you can spin that into Felix having a better year so far, especially not with that home ballpark he plays in.

actually...most advanced metrics on fangraphs (I trust their numbers more than ESPN or baseball reference) have Felix far ahead of Weaver

Tru story. But he's only 26 and in 2 years at age 28 he will be a free agent. Dude is about to break the bank and be out of Seattle. So I don't feel bad for him
The thing is the pitching position is the msot unpredictable and volatile position in sports. He may not be as elite in two years. Losing velocity, mechanical flaws, and injuries can shift a pitchers production quick.
