@OMGMets2o24@KingBob_______@TalkinBaseball_@RyanCohen24 Also were using underlying metrics to remove uncontrollable variables from the equation especially defensive factors when we already know cleveland has a significant better defence than detroit, so I would be dumbfounded to find that joey is in any way being underrated metrically
@OMGMets2o24@KingBob_______@TalkinBaseball_@RyanCohen24 Joey is a 4 era pitcher and underlying metric will suggest hes any better than that. Melton will regress closer to a 3 era, but at the end of the day 80 innings is a large enough sample to not negate a 1.5 era completely. Expect melton to continue to have more success than joey
@OMGMets2o24@KingBob_______@TalkinBaseball_@RyanCohen24 Also if you want more underlying stats, meltons xERA is a run lower than cantillo’s. Not sure how you are going to defend cantiilo over melton when not only are his surface stats better, every stat favors melton
@OMGMets2o24@KingBob_______@TalkinBaseball_@RyanCohen24 WHIP absolutely is an underlying stat. How can you say the frequency at which you allow baserunners wont indicate how likely you are to give up runs? The statistical correlation coefficient between WHIP and ERA in Major League is between 0.75 and 0.85.
@OMGMets2o24@KingBob_______@TalkinBaseball_@RyanCohen24 And joey cantillo’s underlying stats are better? Cantillo has a 1.47 whip and a 4 fip, melton has a 3.79 fip and a 0.9 whip, with his era being so much lower than cantillo’s as well idk what you are trying to prove
@anthonyb507@1kovacs Furthermore you should do some research on what players make in the majors. Seems to be your whole “argument”. Colt is not highly paid at all and it would be incredibly hard to call it a miss when he makes 1mm more per year than jake rogers
@anthonyb507@1kovacs Colt keith is on a 6 year, 28mm contract. Hope this is clear to you now. Based on his career thus far he has generated 27.7mm in value according to fangraphs. Yes he sucks rn but i dont know how you come up with “huge miss”. Hes being paid peanuts
@anthonyb507@1kovacs Yes i can admit he is slumping right now, but who on the team other than riley greene isnt? Easy to call out players for performance when everyone sucks. Unlike you i actually have statistical evidence and dont just defend completely uneducated takes.
@anthonyb507@1kovacs Hes not making 30mm this year, you are clueless. If you cut him you also have to pay the rest of the contract regardless. Learn ball please
