Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Gavin Floyd has been extremely lucky this year. He sports the sixth-lowest BABIP of any starting pitcher (.255), and, not coincidentally, his actual ERA (3.78) has been far lower than his FIP (4.95). In fact, if we use FIP as a standard, only three starting pitchers have been luckier than Floyd this season (Joe Saunders, Shaun Marcum, and Armando Galarraga). Conventional sabermetric wisdom suggests that Floyd is very likely to regress.

But if we look more closely at Floyd's season, we can see that the "conventional wisdom" is misleading. Yes, Floyd's overall numbers are indicative of good luck, but a closer look yields two interesting results: first, Floyd has improved significantly over the course of the season; second, Floyd has already regressed.

I guess if it was all luck...

He would be getting bombed more frequently lately. He seems to keep having quality starts. His biggest enemy seems to be serving up the 3-run jack on a total meatball.

That's my point...

since he is apparently always going to give up a lot of homers, if he can stay away from giving them up with men on base and just keep on giving up the solo jacks it won’t kill him.

he isn't doing a very good job giving up the solo jacks, at least compared to the other guys on the sox.

he has given up a LOT of 2 run homers (14 of 23 overall) and only 1/3 are solo shots, as opposed to 9/11 for danks, 9/17 for buehrle, and 16/21 for vazquez.

let’s just keep our fingers crossed.

Exactly...

Whenever I see Floyd with runners on base, I picture a white Contreras from a couple years back when he would always shit himself with baserunners.

maybe he sharts a little, though?

anecdotally, the 15 home runs of the more than solo variety that gavin has given up have been immediately preceded by a double 7 times(!), a walk 3 times, a runner reaching on an error 1 time, and an out 4 times.

your statement though got me interested in the healthy sox starters' hr stats.

between them, floyd (23), danks (11), buehrle (17), and vazquez (21) have served up 72 home runs—43 solo shots, 22 two-run jobs, 7 three-run jacks, and 1 grand slam.

danks is clearly the star here, surrending bombs at a much lower rate than the rest and with considerably less damage (9 solo, 1 two-run, 1 three-run). javy, for what it’s worth, has also picked pretty good times to give up the long ball as 16 of the 21 have cost the sox only 1 run.

One future argument

And please folks lets at least wait till the off season, will be the call to trade Floyd at his perceived highest value. I suspect I will be one of the minority who will think that is not a good idea. By the way Gavin’s runs allowed is down to 4.84.

The Sox couldn't afford to trade Floyd even when Contreras was healthy...

In general, I'd like the Sox to keep Floyd

There’s no one in the minors to take his place, and if he can be an average starter in the AL for the minimum that’s actually hard to replace (and I do think he has shown he can be average starter next year, as the posted article points out).

Obviously, all the caveats apply about anyone being moveable in the right deal, but unless the return is something special (e.g. very good catching prospects ready for the bigs) I’d keep him.

Pythagorean Record: Minnesota, 69-57 (641 RS, 579 RA); Los Angeles, 69-56 (587 RS, 528 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Minnesota, #14; Los Angeles, #5
Prospectus: Just one back of the White Sox in the AL Central and just a half-game behind Boston for the wild-card spot, Minnesota begins a four-game series against the team with the best record in baseball. The Twins lineup will be bolstered by the return of second baseman Alexi Casilla, who missed the last 21 games with a torn thumb tendon, an injury that was initially feared to be serious enough to possibly knock him out for the season. Minnesota’s offense performed well in Casilla’s absence, scoring 5.9 runs per game, but of course the Twins are much better off with their 23-year-old switch-hitter in the fold, who has been Minnesota’s best offensive option in the middle infield this year. Casilla’s return to a starting role will push Nick Punto back to shortstop, where he will have to fight for playing time with Brendan Harris, who has been hitting lately (.340 average in his last 15 games).

well this is one of the reasons i'd really like to get my command metric going

but there’s no way in hell i’m doing that by hand. but basically, i think he’s erratic because he can’t repeat his mechanics consistently. so he’s going to have to go on a long streak with very good control. and every time i watch him i see a guy who isn’t really sure where the next pitch is headed. so i’m not convinced, but i’m not going to say i don’t think it can happen.

i have a question about silver’s assessment of zambrano at #43. nate wrote that “statistically speaking, [zambrano]’s still a number-two starter masquerading as a one….” the question is…what in the hell do you think this means? that historically aces have better counting numbers and peripherals? that there are really 30 pitchers pitching today (to come out essentially to one #1 pitcher per team) who have better stats than zambrano? something else?

nate is stoopid.

for whatever reason, when people refer to “#1 starter” (or whatever number, come to think of it) the actual counting numbers don’t seem to add up. as in, no one really ever seems to think there are actually 30 pitchers who are 1s and so on. there are probably ten or less pitchers people could all agree are aces.

If John Lackey...

is “underrated”, what is Mark Buehrle?

John Lackey career ERA+ (1281 IP) – 118
Mark Buehrle career ERA+ (1797 IP) – 122

I guess Lackey is five months younger than Buehrle, so he’s got that going for him.

kenny williams is smarter than all of us so fuck you
It was here where the White Sox GM uttered a most memorable sentence, coming just 24 hours after the 88-win Tigers had added Miguel Cabrera to an already power-packed lineup.

“All this has done has put the Tigers in a better position to contend with us,” a supremely confident Williams stated, without the hint of a smile or laugh.



“In jest, with a hint of seriousness,” said Williams, recounting this bold statement, sitting in the White Sox dugout prior to Tuesday’s matchup during his team’s three-game sweep of the Mariners, moving its record to 73-53.

His explanation continued as to why Williams thought that the White Sox would contend in 2008, aside from the significant personnel upgrades made.

“Well, I think what was ignored, to a large degree, is even through the difficulties last year, we had a winning record against our division,” Williams said. "If you are saying our division is one of the best, then it stands to reason that if we think we match up against our division and if we correct a number of things and balance ourselves out for the long haul, then we should be in the thick of it.

“That’s all. We also had nine guys in our starting lineup who achieved below their career levels. It’s not a stretch to think some of them would rebound.”

Cod: It’s the new white meat.

In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

you do know my old pal
