I'm glad to see my harsh garding hasn't cost him points (or given any to Lyon) in the aggregate, even though my grading might have.
Vic Sage Old-Timey Member Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I can see including Baxter over d'Arnaud, (though I didn't), but I'd take Black's few good innings over Marcum's many more (almost exclusively) bad ones.
nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Value in starts vs relief appearances? I'll thino abou5 mak8ng that change
nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This is tough for me, and more so the general philosophy than the specific case of Marcum,I went and dug into his game log, 2 great starts, 2 good ones, and 1 awesome 8 inning relief appearence vs 8 not good starts and 1 bad relief appearence. Is that better than a guy who barwly played? Does starting 12 times have value? Ill keep my rankngs for now, but i acknowledge your criticism is pretty valid and i am 50/50 here on which i think is right.
