2004 5th Starters

That was my first guess, but I didn't
Is it the collection of starters that
Regardless, the Sox 2007 5th starter will have a much better line.
So what if I told you
The above pitching line is obtained by adding Jon Garland's first 16 starts of '06 with Mark Buehlre's final 16.
The Sox sent a below replacement level pitcher to the mound every 5th day last year, and nobody seemed to notice.
Well, SOMEONE noticed
well
If Buehrle and Garland combined to pitch like we all thought they should -- let's say a combined line of about 4.00 ERA -- the Sox would have saved almost 50 runs from the above line.
50 runs, or about 5 wins. That's the difference between the playoffs and our 90-win failure.
What of our 5th this year?
well
we've been spoiled recently with pretty solid starting pitching 1-5; plenty of teams have won with less (the twins last year is a good example). it does require a bit more from a manager and bullpen to successfully survive it. i'd like to see someone who is a bit more proven in that last spot - going with rookies, i think, is bad for both the team and the rookie. i still think we're going to see a back end of the rotation guy added before the indians arrive.
ZIPS for Danks....
For what its worth PECOTA has Danks and McCarthy with similar performances next year. Mac EqERA of 4.97 Danks 5.07. And Danks is 2 years younger with 2 years less arbitration time. Throw in Masset, factor in the extreme leagues Danks has pitched in and I'm OK with this trade.
Interesting that the ERA and HR allowed
wow

Just for fun... Another
IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Player A 66.1 68 42 41 19 82 12 5.56
Player B 70.2 67 43 34 34 72 11 4.33
Player B is easy
You're right
Player A is Brandon McCarthy's first 66+ innings in AAA Charlotte back in '05.
Brown-noser!
Like Revenge of The Nerds Asian guy, "He don't stand no chance" against 2 Chi-town legal eagles!

I might be nuts...

I'd say
He should be ready in 8-12 more AAA starts. But if his minor league history is any guide, we should expect an adjustment period of about a half season at the majors.
