chw42 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) Location, location, location. Richard's pitching in the most extreme pitcher friendly park in a vastly inferior league. Swisher's in a lineup that sports multiple HOFs, all-stars and MVP candidates. I thought the whole protection argument was pretty much moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Oh believe me, I understand the league differential/location factor...I just wish KW did. Really, the idea that Peavy can't pitch in the AL still isn't right. You don't win the pitching triple crown on a weak team because of ballpark factor. We just don't have that Peavy.

I never said it was. I think Richard's a good pitcher. I thought that while y'all were ripping him last year before he got in that groove that raised his trade value.

I thought that while y'all were ripping him last year before he got in that groove that raised his trade value. I was a fan of his also, and I also said at the time Richard would be a better pitcher than Buehrle over the next 3 seasons. Hopefully Buerhle can prove me wrong.

iamshack Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) I don't. Put him in our lineup and I see a big difference. What you're arguing isn't necessarily "protection theory." You're arguing that that lineup is just brutal on a pitcher and will wear him down because of all the high-leverage situations a pitcher will find himself in. Those are two different things.

Nothing even close to spectacular or all-star worthy. He's not as good as his numbers this year while he's not as bad as he was in 2008. Either way, both trades were terrible.
