Chapman is the most dominant reliever since that two year stretch from Eric Gagne. I like Chapman as well. I have Aroldis and JV as my two front-runners.
Price's Run Support in Wins: 6.025
Verlander's Run Support in Wins: 4.5833 (repeating)
Price's Total Run Support on the Mound (Encompassing W's, L's, and ND's): 4.44
Verlander's Total Run Support on the Mound (Encompassing W's, L's and ND's): 3.52
That's surprising. So I stand corrected.
You and PP are also probably right about wins not mattering much anymore. I just got back into baseball this year. I mean I followed the Rangers, but didn't care about the rest of the league for a few years. Kinda glad I did get back into to it too with guys like Chapman, Trout, and Stanton arriving.
I would love to see Dickey win it but I just don't see it happening.
Chapman would probably be my choice. There's a group of guys all in the hunt for it though. Cain, Cueto, Gio, Dickey and I may sound insane here but I feel like Burnett has done quite a bit for Pittsburgh. If they continue being successful (I know they're falling off now), I'd like to see him in consideration.
My god, I've just about had it with the Sox. Only FOUR fucking people on the team showed up to Pesky's funeral. I appreciate Ortiz, Buchholz, Salty and Padilla (was shocked he was the 4th guy) for actually giving some fucks this year but I'm sick of guys like Pedroia now. Really sick of them.
Foolish Dodgers are foolish. They'll have the Hanley, Ethier, and Gonzalez contract if they somehow work out this trade with the Red Sox after claiming him off waivers.
They claimed Beckett too. An unidentified team claimed Justin Upton. Beckett I could see getting traded, but I don't think AGon or JUp are going anywhere right now.
Unless the Rangers claimed JUp. If that's the case, fucking get it done Texas. I could seriously see them trading Andrus and stuff for Upton, but I do see this happening after the season. Not now.
MLB: ONE WEEK!
re: 2012 GIANTS...TROUT >
Up 2.5 games and an easier schedule than the Dodgers have, we're in pretty good position going forward.
