Abreu needs to get really hot in the 2nd half . That slugging percentage is way below his career average.

 

Only chance for Sox to make a second half run is if he's an all-star caliber player and not below replacement level

2nd best pitcher in the American league this season.

 

WHAT A MEDIOCRE PLAYER.

According to what, WAR? Why don't you look at a freaking game log? You know, something blatantly objective that actually matters?

 

Nolan Ryan defines a high quality start (HQS) as 7+ IP, 3 runs or less. So (including today, since Quintana will not have a QS or HQS with Freeman's bomb)...

 

Jose Quintana- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS (67% and 44% respectively)

Steven Wright- 17 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS (71%, 47%, also Wright's ERA starting today was .38 lower, and he has 3 CGs, averaging slightly more IP/GS than Quintana)

Danny Salazar- 16 GS, 9 QS, 6 HQS (56%, 38%, dude does not go deep in games)

Cole Hamels- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS

Masahiro Tanaka- 17 GS, 10 QS, 7 HQS (59%, 41%)

Corey Kluber- 18 GS, 10 QS, 9 HQS (56%, 50%)

Chris Sale- 18 GS, 12 QS, 12 HQS (67%, 67%)

Marco Estrada- 16 GS, 12 QS, 6 HQS (75%, 38%)

Aaron Sanchez- 17 GS, 14 QS, 9 HQS (82%, 53%)

JA Happ- 18 GS, 12 QS, 8 HQS

 

This was the first time I've compared so many pitchers this year. Q is clearly up there, but he's by no means the second best pitcher in the AL. Sanchez has been surprisingly dominant in his starts and yet fWAR places him .7 below Q. What gives?
