Great job by the angels. Weaver is one of the top pitchers in the game and he is barely entering his prime.
Oh and don’t you love how all of the comments on this site somehow turn into something related to the Yankees when they have no business being in the conversation?

A patently ridiculous statement. Z has a consistent history of problems, even going so far as to get into fights with teammates on at least two occasions, in the clubhouse no less. He has consistently shown an inability to harness his emotions into a positive force, is erratic on and off the mound, calls out his teammates on and off the field yet does not take into account his own blunders. And on top of that he expects that simply apologizing to the fans again and again grants him leave to act like a buffoon all over again.
But of course you knew all this and that is why you are comparing Weaver to Z.

Yeah………Curtis Granderson for junk (Kennedy was junk at the time) was a pretty good deal…….and there’s plenty of others. Dude knows what he’s doing.

“but neither is remotely “close” to the Yankees” That’s like 1 or 2 players! That is close!

$40Mil? You could fund an entire MLB team with that!

Weaver is frikin 28 how long does he need to prove himself???????… he’s had like 6-7 seasons idk exactly but I’m in the ballpark. Felix has proved himself in that time span(hence he is sabathias class) Weaver has 2.10 era. he should continue at that pace? the guy hasn’t had a cy young worthy yr before this one let alone another 2 sumthing era year. Nd sabathia is on CONSECUTIVE cy young races at the moment… hit me up wen weaver has year 2 of elite cy young performance. Oh wait I back up my opinion of 3.3-3-5 kinda guy by factual statements. What about you, speculation and guessing…… all I did was slam watever pityful “arguement” that was supposed to be. Talk to sum1 else less statistically inclined like myself buddy ull fare bttr

Well…..except when you count last year (2010) when he was 5th in the Cy Young voting, of course. So, that would make 2 consecutive years of Cy Young performance, would it not? Also, compare Weaver’s ERA+, WHIP, H/9, SO/9, BB/9, to Sabathia’s and you’ll see similar metrics, especially if you compare Sabathia’s year 23 – 28 to Weaver’s. The funniest part about your response was that you called Weaver a 3.3 – 3.5 kinda guy (Weaver’s career ERA is 3.30, Sabathia’s is 3.52). I’m not going to pronounce one player better than the other, but your claim to have “slam(med) watever pityful arguement” the poster above you made seems to be a bit premature. Thank God you’re statistically inclined, though, or I’d be afraid you wouldn’t understand my post.

2 different divisions with different ballparks = different numbers. Gotta take all into factor. Ballparks like Camden, Fenway, Yanks, Texas naturally produce greater offensive numbers. Oakland, Seattle, LA, San Diego are pitchers parks. So I think you will naturally build your team around what works best there.
To be completely honest, My fantasy team is loaded with Yanks, Sox and Rangers… Even Orioles… Though my pitchers are usually from the West.

AL East wRC+ (which is league and park adjusted) is 107, AL West wRC+ is 94. O’s and Rays wRC+ is 99, A’s and Mariners wRC+ is 85.
And I don’t know what San Diego’s park has to do with it, they aren’t in the AL West.
abes_seed
Yeah, I wasn’t saying that San Diego was in the AL west or that Texas is in the AL east for that matter… Basically saying that I think teams that have hitters parks tend to build around that, and pitchers parks tend to build around that. If I were a great hitter, I’d want to play in a park that will help me be one of the greatest’s. If I’m a great pitcher I might avoid signing with Colorado, Baltimore, Texas, etc.
I’m definitely not gonna argue that the East doesn’t have the best Offense. Clearly they do.

Ok, I get what you’re saying. I don’t really think it has anything to do with what we were discussing though. We were talking about Sabathia putting up those numbers being more impressive than Weaver doing it because of the teams each pitcher has to face most often. People were then trying to make the case that the O’s and the Rays weren’t any better offensively than the A’s and the Mariners, which isn’t true. Clearly if a pitcher is putting up the same (or better actually) numbers pitching in the AL East it is more impressive than the pitcher doing it in the AL West.

I saw part of Jersey Shore once. That was more than enough for me.

Are you only excluding Drew because he’s on the DL? lol
