Poll: Which Starter Would Provide Biggest Boost?

By Daniel Seco 2 | July 22, 2012 at 9:37pm CDT

The addition of a player such as Zack Greinke or Matt Garza may mean the difference of making the playoffs or spending October on the golf course for a team like the Braves. With the non-waiver trade deadline looming, teams will be forced to consider the value of trading for a front-of-the-rotation starter and how that particular move may impact the remainder of the season.

The question becomes which available starting pitcher will contribute the most down the stretch to help a team reach its goals for the season. Will Ryan Dempster prove to be the second coming of C.C. Sabathia during his stint with the Brewers? Or will Cole Hamels flame out like Ubaldo Jimenez after he arrived in Cleveland last July?

      Not only that, Ubaldo was terrible before he got traded to Cleveland. He’s been living off that first half in 2010 for awhile now. He didn’t flame out with Cleveland, he was pitching to his talent level.

    Gotta go with Hamels ad his post season experience over the others. TO be a real difference maker, potentially, there has to be the ability to excel in the post season. Of course we never know until a guy gets there but for pitchers it seems even more significant they have been there before.

      Big Jon Lester fan and I think that any team (especially NL) would thrive with him at the top of their rotation, and we’d see some of the best numbers of his career in terms of ERA and WHIP.

        The thing I keep hearing about Lester is that he’s bigger this year and is fighting his body/mechanics trying to get the same movement and command on his pitches (and he looks visibly bigger this year – not exactly fatter, but thicker everywhere).

          watching him today was like watching a different pitcher. I grew accustomed to him tearing up my jays. but today, so many pitches up, let batters off the hook with 2 strikes.

          it was a sight

              It would be a terrible decision, unless you could find someone who was willing to give you value like he was still the old Lester, and that’s obviously not going to happen.

                There really isn’t that much of a difference. He hasn’t lost velocity, and his BB% is the best of his career, so the control and command is there too. He’s just not missing bats the same as he was, and for some reason he’s getting smacked around a lot more. Maybe he’s injured, maybe it’s the .331 BABIP, but he’s basically still the same pitcher with unusual results.

                Should mention too that his LD% is at 23.5%, which is unsustainable when comparing it to the 16.9% LD% he had the previous 3 years.

                EDIT: Yeah I knew I made a mistake in there, thanks for clearing that up MaineSox. Whichever between the two of command and control is the one where he can do whatever he wants in the strikezone is the one he’s having problems with (I think it’s command).

                  His command is still there, but his control isn’t (or is it the other way around? I can never remember. In other words, he can find the strikezone fine still, but doesn’t have as good of control within the strike zone).

                  I actually pointed out the BABIP thing the other day to someone (along with the career low strand rate), but part of the reason his BABIP is up is because he’s giving up quite a few more line drives, which I think is in part due to the lack of control; he’s leaving pitches out over the palte more and their getting hit hard. And his cutter doesn’t have as sharp of movement within the zone either, which also causes it to be more hittable.

                they may not give you old lester value, but because of old lester, you’d get a lot more than his actual current value.

                its a tough decision, but if he’s mentally checked out and quietly wants out of the limelight and media bubble, moving him now would be the wise decision..because things could get worse.

                i still think they’d get a nice haul. A team that wants an upgrade, but doesn’t want to move a prospect for a rental, would probably love lester.

                  Yeah, if there’s an underlying issue with him in the city/team/market/whatever that would change things and make trading him more plausible, but short of that I think you ride it out and assume(hope) he turns it around for you.

                    well given bostons playoff aspirations I’d agree with you.

                    unless there was someway to get back mlb ready talent, which would be tough in this situation. I was actually thinking the red sox were about to turn the corner and go on one of those torrid runs where they win 18 of 20.

                    I don’t know that there is an underlying issue, but I do know that boston is a terrible place to play if you’re struggling. The media is intense and I actually felt really terrible for him when he was booed off the field today. Thats got to be really tough for a guy who has been as successful as he has been

                agreed, it totally depends on what you get back. If the red sox think that he will only be able to get back to 90% of what he was and they can get someone to offer close, then why not take that trade? (one reason might be the amount of money sunk into this team to contend now)

                  I just don’t think it makes enough sense unless there is an underlying off field issue causing the problems. With the way the last two seasons have ended (and the way this one has gone so far) people are getting to the end of their ropes with this team/ownership/front office (right or wrong, they are) and moving a fan favorite like Lester isn’t going to help that (even if you get 100% value for him), especially when he inevitably goes back to pitching the way he has in the past for some other team.

        Personally i don’t think he is a dominant ace. It is often talked about that he wins alot of games, but that is because boston is consistently one of the best offenses in the league. That said though, if he becomes available, I think that he would probably get the biggest package, and would be the 3rd best acquisition for this year along, behind hamels, then greinke; and possibly better than greinke. Better than garza.

          Lester has always walked a few more guys than you would generally like (but still not an unreasonable amount; 3.31 career BB/9 is completely acceptable), but he’s been a better pitcher than Hamels since the start of the ’09 season (even with his so-so [for him] year last year, and disappointing year this year).

      Post season numbers are tiny sample sizes and in no way indicative of future performance. Hard for me to say anyone other than Greinke in that poll, his numbers are pretty significantly better than anyone else on there.

        I would take Hamels, only because of consistency. Hamels you know what you are getting if you trade for him. Greinke on the other hand is sometimes inconsistent. Sometimes he is way better in the second half, sometimes he falls apart in the second half. And year to year he is inconsistent. Greinke is a dominant pitcher months, some months h doesn’t have anything together.

        That’s TYPICALLY the case, but we’re talking about 13 starts that average out to a very good pitcher, with Hamels’ postseason ERA and WHIP at 3.09 and 1.053, respectively. It’s not like he’s only got a couple of starts under his belt, he has been to the postseason in 5 differnt season.

          13 starts is less than half a season, so it’s still not a statistically significant sample size. Plus, ERA and WHIP aren’t good ways to evaluate a pitcher (and those numbers are wrong anyway; 3.20 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, and his postseason FIP is 3.51).

            Yes, it is, but it’s also occurred over 5 years, so we’ve seen him perform against top-quality teams (I mean, do most starters get 13 starts against playoff teams in a season? Probably not.) at varying times. He’s consistently performed well against those top team (not to say he’s been perfect–he’s had 3 ugly starts), and considering the compeition, that’s more noteworthy than 13 random MLB starts, where probably half or more would be against non-playoff teams.
            As for the incorrect numbers, I got those from baseball-reference.com. I looked at FanGraphs, and they list Hamels has having allowed 3 ER in the 2010 postseason, while B-R says that he only allowed 2. I’m not sure why there is a discrepancy.

              The fact that it’s 13 games spread out over 5 seasons makes it even less reliable, not more.

            I know leverage index isn’t really the same as playing in the playoffs, but Greinke has historically pitched better in high leverage situations and Hamels has historically pitched worse. Since ’09:

            Greinke: low = 3.00 FIP, 3.06 xFIP (.288 wOBA against) – high = 2.81 FIP, 2.88 xFIP (.238 wOBA against)

            Hamels: low = 3.40 FIP, 3.18 xFIP (.290 wOBA against) – high = 3.33 FIP, 3.73 xFIP (3.07 wOBA against)

              ya but those are leverage situations within a game, they don’t take in to account the magnitude of a game.

              I’m not saying grienke isn’t a big game pitcher or hamels is, I was more speaking in general terms, that especially in pitching, some players will find it easier in preparing for a more important start.

              Pitchers are all about routine, playoffs are (can be) a different routine. I could never sleep before a big game, being tired leads to a whole bunch of performance issues.Or alternatively the heightened intensity of the crowd could lead to an adrenaline rush, that if not controlled properly can lead to mechanical issues.

              Not saying this has anything to with the hamels vs grienke debate, just merely dismissing the notion that we should dismiss the fact that hamels has performed well in the playoffs.

                Maybe we shouldn’t completely ignore it, but we should definitely take it with a massive grain of salt. He hasn’t pitched enough postseason innings for it to be statistically meaningful, and while situational leverage and ‘game’ leverage, if you will, aren’t exactly the same, there has to be some correlation between pitching in high leverage situations and pitching in high leverage games. So until they have pitched in enough postseason innings for it to be statistically meaningful I can’t completely ignore how they have performed in high leverage situations, and I can’t say that Hamels does well specifically in the postseason, or that Greinke does poorly specifically in the postseason.

                  I agree that you can’t say that grienke performs poorly is the postseason, that was never my intent to suggest as much, one start against a really good team cannot be looked at beyond that start.
                  agree to do disagree on hamels though, I think he proved himself as a starter who is able to show up when it counts. I know that sounds cliche and moving forward I’d still take Grienke longterm on my team, but I think who ever lands hamels won’t be disapointed. Remember they may only make 10 or so starts on their new team, the sample size won’t be big. anything can happen

                    I just think that talking about Hamels’ playoff experience doesn’t accomplish anything. Everyone knows he’s a good pitcher, but it has no bearing on the question about whether he is better than Greinke or not (because neither one has anywhere near enough playoff innings to say who they really are when it comes to playoff games).

                    I think a team trading for Hamels will be pleased with what they get, but I also worry about how it works out for a team who signs him as a free agent (assuming he really ends up getting a Sabathia type deal like some people expect). I don’t think Hamels is on the same level as Sabathia (I think Greinke is the only potentially available true #1 pitcher; Hamels is more in the Beckett/Sanchez/Price good #2 category statistically).

            True, although greinke’s had exactly one chance at the playoffs while hamels has had 5. that’s far beyond either of their controls, and if (big if) playoff performance is a skill and not sample size, having more chances should conclude in the player being better at controlling adrenaline and being more mentally composed.

        I was shocked to see Hamels that far ahead of Greinke. I figured people would discount Greinke to a certain degree because of the anxiety issues (which I still maintain aren’t actually an issue other than possibly with his willingness to play for large market teams), but Greinke is actually the better pitcher, so I figured it would at least be close.

              It actually kind of does. Compare the ERA and FIP of both guys in each season.
              Greinke 2011: 3.83 ERA, 2.98 FIP
              Greinke 2012: 3.57 ERA, 2.56 FIP
              Hamels 2011: 2.79 ERA, 3.05 FIP
              Hamels 2012: 3.23 ERA, 3.55 FIP
              Greinke has led in FIP both times, yet Hamels ends up with the better ERA. It’s probably got a bit to do with the defenses behind them and the VERY different BABIPs, but the idea that Hamels has produced more is somewhat true, in terms of PAST production. FIP is a predictor, but it doesn’t matter what your FIP or WAR (which is FIP-based) was if you posted an ERA a full run higher than it, like Greinke’s doing now.

            Generally I would go with 3-4 full seasons worth of performance to prove this point, but going back to ’09 would include Greinke’s best season and (arguably) Hamels’ worst season, so in trying to be as fair to Hamels as absolutely possible I’m only going to go back to the start of the ’10 season:

            Greinke: 3.04 FIP, 76 FIP-, 3.07 xFIP, 3.42 tERA, 3.17 SIERA, 3.90 K/BB

            Hamels: 3.40 FIP, 86 FIP-, 3.17 xFIP, 3.54 tERA, 3.19 SIERA, 3.88 K/BB

            If I were to include 2009 (like I normally would) it would favor Greinke by a considerably wider margin.

              Yet in actuality Hamels has been better every year. Hamels is very good almost every year, whereas greinke fluctuates alot. Greinke’s era over 3.91 vs Hamel’s 3.00. Stats are nice and all but in terms of actual production it is not even close.

              “Greinke may be the better pitcher, but Hamels puts together better performances. “

                ERA is a terrible stat to evaluate pitchers with. There are simply too many other factors involved for it to be useful at all: luck, fielders behind the pitcher, official scorer’s rulings, random BABIP variations…

                Based on literally every other statistic available Greinke is better.

      How many drugs did you do before you posted that?

      In all seriousness though, it depends on what numbers you look at.

    Greinke seems to have better stats in just about every category that counts. Am I missing something?

    Well Hamels…if he can be had. This may not turn out. Greinke is more likely to be traded so him.

    Since 2008 (I will give Hamels the benefit of the better year statistically to start)…. Greinke FIP: 2.98, xFIP 3.21, WAR: 26.8…… Hamels FIP: 3.54 xFIP: 3.35 WAR: 19.1…. it isn’t close

    I picked other. Historically it is usually a small name that blows up for a trade. One of those ho hum things that pays off. More often than not those are where the crunch time wins come from. CC being the real lone exception in recent memory as a star who propelled a team into the playoffs as a trade deadline acquisition.

    Oh please, it’s obvious the real difference make will be J.A. Happ.

    Who will provide the biggest boost is only part of the discussion, really. Teams also care about signability and whether or not a guy will just be a rental. Because of this, the player that most teams should want is Garza. All of these guys will provide a boost, but I believe he’s the only one under contract for next year.

      Except that the exact question is “Which Available Starter Would Provide The Biggest Boost?” So, who will provide the biggest boost is the entire discussion.

        The pitcher who would provide the biiggest boost is Hamels, then. Problem is, that’s not the only thing teams will care about.

          That’s fine, and I agree that that’s not all they care about, but that wasn’t the idea of this poll.

    How doesn’t Hamels have 100% of the votes? Garza is mediocre at best. Dempster is way past him prime and probably bullpen bound in the next few years. Greinke is on a verge to be the next Dontrelle Willis, a complete head case.
