Quin Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2013 -> 01:23 AM) Is Q distancing himself as a better prospect than Hector? Neither of them are prospects. They're both legitimate AL starters. But yeah, Q is better. Quintana is a #2, while Hector is more of a #3. For reference: According to Fan Graphs, Quintana has been the 20th most valuable pitcher in baseball. Hector is the 67th, but that is in large part hurt due to the fact that he didn't start at the beginning of the year. If he had started the entire year, Hector would likely be around where Samardzija is at at 37. Edited August 31, 2013 by Quinarvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams that are willing to work counts are just going to eat him for lunch and have him done by the 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hoping Keppinger is being showcased for a trade. I guess we'll know by today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Hector's stuff is great, but it takes more than stuff to become a consistent starting pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An inconsistent delivery might be exactly the kind of thing a guy would wind up with if you've screwed with him bouncing him back and forth between the bullpen and the rotation for 2 years.

Naming him closer is still one of the most puzzling personnel decisions the Sox have made in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
