Buehrle>Wood Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Called the likely starter. Was the only starter named in the initial 5, so I guess that's a good sign. Yost said no decision officially yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Hope that Eaton/Q at least get recognition of being included on the Fan Vote/Final 5 list. Might end up with only Eaton, unfortunately. Edited July 5, 2016 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still bulls*** that a pitcher with the 5th highest fWAR in baseball doesn't get acknowledged as a "star", which is still the point of the game right?

gosoxgo2005 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'd be shocked if Yost was looking at WAR or FIP when making his selections. Still, Eaton and Q were snubbed. Garcia too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still bulls*** that a pitcher with the 5th highest fWAR in baseball doesn't get acknowledged as a "star", which is still the point of the game right? Or the point from the article (see below), that well-rounded players like Springer, Polanco and Marte lost out to bigger "name" guys like Carlos Beltran and CarGo. Pretty shocking Duval was picked, although they had to go with someone from CINCY and his stats look good on paper, especially for a youngster. Seems the players mostly or completely ignored the concept of WAR and advanced stats completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the fWAR leader for a position ever been left off?

caulfield12 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Has one in that top-tier fWAR category ever had a losing record? Just curious. (Note: I'm not holding Jose personally responsible for the lack of Sox run support, don't want to argue that particular element of why he wasn't chosen.) And there's still a 50/50 chance Yost will go with Q (because of the Davis injury). Is Sale even going to be able to pitch/start? He's pitching Friday still? (Besides, it will give Q a lot more incentive the next time he faces Yost...so there's that, to prove him wrong.)

(Quintana leads AL SP in fWAR, 5th in the league behind Kershaw, Syndergaard, Fernandez and Cueto) I'd have to imagine it's happened to a starting pitcher before, especially in the past. It's easy for a guy to pitch well, but have a little bad luck and a losing record and be overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Much deserved. Congrats to Sale. Q deserved a spot as well. Yost picks bullpen pitchers having fluke years instead. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
