Nope. If Kershaw pitched in the AL, there's no way he'd have multiple seasons with an ERA under 2. He'd still be better than Quintana, though.

 

 

Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball. It's not really that close either.

Kershaw is clearly the best pitcher in baseball, but I don't think it's at all crazy to suggest he wouldn't have an ERA under 2 in the AL. I very much doubt that as well.

I don't know about deferred money. Are we still paying Konerko? Buyouts happened in '15 not '16. As far as Turner and the other spots I made it pretty clear I was saying X amount of players costed Y amount of money. I know it wasn't perfect but more of where we are at with the most likely candidates on the roster.

Apparently we still owe Peavy $1M, plus $1M buyouts for Emilio & Alexei.

 

Wasn't disagreeing with anything you said, just had gone through the payroll exercise last night prior before seeing your post and figured I'd mention where we stood in case anyone was curious.

I think Paulie gets $1 million a year for 5 or 6 more years.

I think the buyout figure occurs the following season.

I am sure they saw that comment above.

Great.

 

My point is that I know Kershaw is the best pitcher in baseball (and obviously better than Quintana), but I don't think I'm "nuts" for thinking that his ERA would be 2 or higher if he had to face a DH instead of a pitcher once every 9 batters. He'd still be the best, and his ERA probably would be close to 2, but it would surely increase.

Due to the DH and not facing a pitcher for 5-7 innings, Kershaws ERa would go up. It would be interesting to see him in the AL. Not sure what his interleague ERA is.

 

Interleague 2.32 era 0.951 WHIP. Career 2.43 ERA 1.033 WHIP

I had more of an issue with you calling him overrated

A lot of White Sox announcements are due. The assistant hitting coach seems to be filled but not yet official. The bench coach, is Steve Stone returning? Who is the PBP guy for home games?

I expect a busy weekend or beginning of next week at least with these announcements.

He will.

 

I dont know, the Mariners are in a tough spot in needing to contend right now without a lot of pieces. Their payroll is already at $95 or so without him, so not sure they want to throw almost $16 MM at him next year. You're probably right, as even the Angels are looking to offer David Freese a QO, just seems like a bad situation for them.
