Gray doesn't get the strikeouts I want from a true ace.

Thanks, I was actually looking for it too. Comes in handy at times.

Neither did Keuchel until suddenly he did.

[spittin]

Blackmon

[Dr. Dinger]

Speedy and Min are both online, nice

[The Cats Ass]

Neither did Keuchel until suddenly he did.

 

And when that day comes he'll be a true, true ace.

 

Both Gray and Blockmon were near the top of my list.

Well he was in the Cy Young race for most of the year. Plus he's young, great GB rate, and he pitches in a great park (for now). At the very least he should be a high end SP2.

[Dr. Dinger]

I can say this now, but he's preferable to Stroman due to contextual factors. I probably would have taken Stroman cuz I'm a homer tho.

[Boxcar]

Sonny Gray was a pretty bad pick lol. Guess you must believe in his ability to beat his FIP.

[The Cats Ass]

I would have taken Stroman all because of his feistiness

There are like 15 SPs remaining that I'd take over Gray. Don't have a reference right in front of me but that may even be an understatement.

[The Cats Ass]

Also, Gray doesn't look like a pitcher. He looks more like a second baseman.

Why's that, exactly? A 3.36 FIP is an easy SP2. And yes, I do believe he can beat it as long as he pitches half his games in Oakland.

Don't post pictures of my twink. He's mine.

[Dr. Dinger]

Who's picking for Gjew Dork?

Is Jamie Moyer one of them?

Do you look at other stats? You know, like the ones the league is based on.

 

Projected for an ERA around 3.70

K/BB under 3

Mediocre k numbers

Likely mediocre win totals

f*** your projection and the ******* you pulled it out of. He has a career 2.88 ERA over 500 innings.

[burlingtonbandit]

I think Stroman is much more preferable. Ridiculous GB numbers with one of the best infield defenses behind him in a park that makes grounders slow. Not to mention Stroman has a ton of upside we haven't seen in the K numbers.

[AdamGreenwood]

I hate that potential trade hanging over all the Rockies OF.

[Dr. Dinger]

So does Gray, who has one of the best curveballs in baseball. He struck out batters at 25% in his first year over 60+ IP. There is more K% in there than what he's shown the last two years, which is still pretty good. Stroman doesn't have an out pitch as good as Gray's hammer, though I love them both and I think they're pretty similar pitchers.

Yeah, I can't help but think Cargo and CoreDick both dropped a bit under the threat of that. Now it looks like the might just move CoreDick to 1B and keep them all, which makes sense.

[Boxcar]

He's not at 500 innings yet.

 

You also only addressed one of the issues I raised, but who cares because this is an ERA only league, amirite?

[SpeedyGose]

We select Brandon Belt, can someone pm next in line? I'm on the road right now

[Dr. Dinger]

Your other issues don't hold any water for me. He's had 14 wins each of the last two years on a mediocre team, doesn't seem to be a problem. His K and K/BB are both above average with room for growth and he's a great GB pitcher with two plus pitches.

[The Cats Ass]

Who has GD's pick? NJH/KingKat/GD?
