Yes Miami please extend him!!! The Braves almost always squeeze at least 3 or 4 runs out of him. He’s basically the only Marlins pitcher they are good against.
Clayton Wilson
Ricky Nolasco: 111 IP, 4.80 ERA, 1.500 WHIP, .301, .347, .507
Anibal Sanchez: 86 IP, 5.11 ERA, 1.541 WHIP, .289, .359, .437
Carlos Zambrano: 74 IP, 6.08 ERA, 1.568 WHIP, .274, .366, .462
Buehrle’s only made two starts against the Braves. He didn’t pitch too well, but managed to limit runs. Johnson pretty much owns the Braves though.
None of this really matters though, I’m just bored. Teams change every year……But I do have plenty of confidence in them beating up on Zambrano, which is always fun to see.
NYBravosFan10
lol, i hear ya. And Nolasco has pitched much better in recent years against us. Those numbers are pretty skewed because his horrid performances pre-2009 and to be totally honest I forgot about Zambrano.
Clayton Wilson
Yeah, I still got that 16 K game from Nolasco in my head. Diaz could’ve tied the game up in the 9th had he just kept running toward the plate after the wild pitch, but was instead thrown out at 3B to end the game……and likely the Braves WC chances in 2010.
Nunez(or whatever his real name is) is another guy the Braves usually handle.

I think they should sign him to a 4 year deal worth $41,000,000.

EJack should be a good comparable for A.Sanchez.

Sanchez is far better than jackson and u watch.. Over the next 3 years or so will put up better numbers, regardless of the league he pitches in. Sanchez knows how to control his stuff and is in command on the mound. His only problem was with injuries early on in his career, not just plain old stank.
Devon Henry
I agree, im talking money wise. They have similiar numbers and are the same age. In my opinion i believe that Sanchez is the better pitcher.

“C.J. Wilson,
who was able to solicit bids from all 30 teams this offseason, will
earn $15.5MM per free agent year under his new contract with the Angels.”
This can’t be accurate… The Rays have 7 MLB ready pitchers, with a small budget on top of that. I can’t imagine Andrew Friedman even bothering to throw out an offer…
NYBravosFan10
No way that’s accurate. There definitely are some teams that had their rotations decided or at least who was going to compete for the spots and I can’t imagine that any major league free agent would ever solicit interest from all 30 teams.

“was able” is not the same as “actually received”. The point being made was that any team COULD put out a bid (or CJ and his agent COULD reach out to every team). You are absolutely correct that CJ did not receive bids from every ML club.

Amazing how well he’s bounced back from a shoulder injury when so many pitchers fail to do so.

Lock him up, now! If the Fish didn’t have a new ballpark and all the bells, whistles, and big contracts, Sanchez would be considered their #3 starter for years to come. Even so, he’s going to be around for a while. He’s quietly consistent.
And happy birthday to Josh Johnson today!
NYBravosFan10
There’s a lot more than bells and whistles. Have you seen that skyscraper home run feature?
Unplucked Sports
Ugh. I’ve tried my best to avoid looking at it. I’m hoping Big Mike cranks one into it on Opening Day and puts an end to that monstrosity.

He’s a no-hitter waiting to happen every time he takes the mound. I’d go 3-4 years at 10-12 a year without much hesitation. At that amount, he won’t hamstring you too much if his shoulder flies apart. That said, they’re better off with him than Wilson, for sure.
Unplucked Sports
Agreed. He’ll probably get a 7-7.5, 10, 12, 12 deal structure. I think he was better than Ricky No-Show last year, and Nolasco makes 11.5 in the last year of his deal.
citizen 2
conisistently below .500 except for the rookie season. no cgs.
Clayton Wilson
Well, that’s one way to evaluate pitchers I guess……
bjsguess
I wouldn’t hesitate to go 4/40 with him. I’d be comfortable at 4/50. More than that I’d look for a trade partner.
