[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Igawa had a 7.3 K/9. He cant be that bad can he? [/ QUOTE ] he gives up a TON of home run balls. [/ QUOTE ] That really isn't a skill... [/ QUOTE ] o rly? his homer rates in japan aren't very good either. i don't have his FB% in front of me, but i'd expect it to be very high. i just don't get the sense this is all igawa being unlucky this year. |

Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
Homers allowed is basically related to flyballs allowed, and being a flyball pitcher doesn't mean he is bad. It seems he is just running really bad. He has a good K rate, why give up on him when his value is at its lowest?

That really isn't a skill... [/ QUOTE ] Yeah it is. Pitchers can control three things: Strikeouts, walks, and home runs. Pitchers control home runs by not allowing hitters to absolutely shell them, not necessarily by depressing their flyball rates. There are very good flyball pitchers - however, they're the ones that strike out at least 8 batters per 9ip. Flyball non-strikeout pitchers are not exactly what you want. |

[/ QUOTE ] Again, his K/9 rate was 7.3. That's close to 8 and it's his first year in the majors with a relatively small sample size. His K/9 could be a lot higher. |

Unless they can get something really useful back, which seems unlikely, this would be a dumb time to trade him. |

[/ QUOTE ] While I agree for the most part, I would change it to "Walks, Strikeouts, and getting hit hard." Home runs allowed is much more corrollated with FB ratio than with suckiness, not to mention Igawa has a good K rate and his K rate in Japan was sick. |

[/ QUOTE ] would you take cla meredith for him assuming the yankees dont have to pay any part of igawa's remaining contract? |
