michelangelosmonkey Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just now, Vulture said: There hasn’t been five seasons since 2016😆 I know it’s a bold prediction but that’s my call I would actually be happy for him...as long as Rodon puts up a 4 WAR as well. i strongly rooted for Sox to bring in Q...though clearly I should have spent more time doing math.

Timmy U Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Interesting that Cease said he made an adjustment, because he was a completely different guy in the 5th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your bold prediction of a 4 WAR but he's put up 5 WAR total in the last five years and it's been since 2016 since he's been great. I count 14.2 in the last 5 seasons. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-quintana/11423/stats?position=P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Awesome that Cease was able to regain a semblance of control and go 5 innings with only 1 run and 6 ks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Gun Pete Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Vulture said: Curse words lose their impact when you use them in every sentence of every post. Then it just becomes cloying Hey, thanks for sharing. Sorry your sensibilities got hurted. 1 hour ago, Vulture said: Quintana’s going to have a big year. He looked filthy in his limited action last year and he looks the same this spring. I’m calling 4 WAR right now provided he stays healthy I don't think this too outrageous, actually, given what Balta's posted here. It's probably around the 90th percentile of likely outcomes, but its certainly possible for him. 1 hour ago, Balta1701 said: I count 14.2 in the last 5 seasons. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-quintana/11423/stats?position=P Well, take out the injury-shortened/COVID-impacted 2020, and I'm counting 13.9 fWAR from 2016-19. In other words, an average of 3.475 fWAR over that timeframe. If Quintana can match this, he's the steal of the offseason at $8MM/1year. Hell, if he only provides HALF of that [1.74 fWAR], he's easily worth $8MM. But yeah, Hendriks instead. Plus Cease/Lopez/Rodon.

Working on his mechanics this spring IP H ER SO Cease 11.2 7 1 11 Every other fan base would be so excited by their 25 year old starter hitting 99 on the gun....and looks to be our 5th starter. We continue to scour the silver lining trying to find the cloud. Would other fan bases also get the chance to drink in his awesome BB/9, as well? He's got talent, but he hasn't lived up to it, just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
