Re: Where's Meph? (Khalil Greene)

My bad. I didn't see the existing thread.

Gasp! And just like that the threads are merged, just further confirming my suspicions that this board is haunted.

Any way we could throw together an offer for Chris Young? Pie, Cedeno, Gallagher?

 

It would be nice to have a legit number 2 (assuming Lilly doesn't keep at last years level).

 

Chris Young is an extreme fly ball pitcher - currently he ranks last in the NL of pitchers with 20+ innings with a G/F of 0.40. He needs to stay at PETCO.

He also is the only pitcher in the history of the world who seems to be able to sustain a ridiculous BABIP year after year. No doubt it has to do with being a fly ball pitcher as shown above, but still. Also, I'm not sure DLee would be that happy.

Chris Young would be Sean Marshall if he pitched at Wrigley.

So the Pads should trade Greene for Marshall then? \:D/

Chris Young caught lightening in a bottle for half a season last year. He is way overvalued as a result. I would be awfully surprised if he's ever able to repeat that level of performance for more than a month or so at a time.

If this is true they should sell high then.

I would if I were them. He's not terrible by any means, but he's not as good as he was in the first half. IMO, he's rather Dempster-esque.

I'm no crazy fan of Young, but if you want to use ERA as a barometer, in the first half of 07 he posted a 2.00 ERA. In May of 05 he had a 1.42 ERA, and in June of 06 he had a 1.17 ERA.

 

So he has done it before but then again the odds are that he will considering you only get 5 or so starts a month. Not too hard to string together a couple of good ones...

 

But I agree, his May/June/July of last year were insane (now known as Cliff Lee-esque). In 91.6 innings he let up 1 HR, and had a 1.08 ERA. In 5 starts in June he allowed ZERO extra base hits. Thats pretty crazy.

 

I don't know how overvalued he is though, he really is a guy who flies under the radar IMO.
