Michael Wacha has been insane this year. While he has only 10 ER on the year, and 8 were in one poor start. Over the other 5 starts, he's had 0 ER in 4 of them. Minus the one poor start, that's 2ER over 34.2 INN for a 0.52 ERA. Not to mention a 47:8 K/BB ratio on the season. I know everyone wishes they had a mulligan every now and then, but Wacha's stats are far superior to Appel or Gausman thus far when one considers that the preponderance of Wacha's damage came in one start. He's been virtually unhittable in the others. Thoughts about when he starts to garner some 1:1 consideration (he has all the tools and body)? Or is he still lacking something that the others have?
Posted by DC Nat | March 26, 2012 at 10:06 am | ShortcutBTW – Zimmer's outlier performance (Fresno 3/9: 6IP, 6ER) could be overshadowing his absolute dominance in his other 5 starts: 33IP 1ER….0.03 ERA!
Posted by DC Nat | March 26, 2012 at 10:26 am | ShortcutAt what point do you look at pitches that are so shutdown dominant, and disregard that one outlier performance? At what point are they considered more valuable than a guy that has a 2.00 ERA over all of his starts? Or does the comp vary so greatly that it still comes down to mostly scouting? Thanks guys.
