Just in this division alone, I'll take Cleveland's top 2-3, Danks and Floyd, Minnesota's top 2, Detroit's top 3, and maybe now Bruce Chen over Peavy.

 

He's got to learn to pitch the Freddie Garcia route where he no longer has his fastball. And I doubt he's going to do that here.

 

No one who saw Floyd in 2009-2010 would ever call him amazingly consistent. An ERA of 7 followed by an ERA of 1 month to month just isn't normal.

 

And Danks, well, we all saw the last inning.

I have no idea where you're coming from on Danks. Last year he posted some of the best peripherals of his career, he was clearly unlucky. He has had two modest outings so far this year, so I'm just not sure why you're so down on him.

Danks was unlucky last year, in terms of getting "Wins", that useless stat. He was pretty regularly Danks the rest of the year.

Merkin posted his run support from last year...

 

Scott Merkin ‏ @scottmerkin

Danks' best run support in a single game in 2011: 4 runs 2X, 5 runs 3X, 6 runs 3x

 

That is 4 or more runs in 8 starts.

you would take Bruce f*cking Chen over Peavy? Max (I gave up 7 runs in 2 innings) Scherzer? Rick (I can't strike a guy out to save my life) Porcello? Fransisco (5+ era) Liriano? good lord man.

 

you know BP has projected a low 3's era for Peavy this year right? I think they know more about projecting pitchers than we do.
