Pair of Aces

Josh Beckett and Chien-Ming Wang -- the undisputed aces of the rivalry and
not surprisingly the focus of many a debate here at YFSF since the beginning
of 2006 -- each won their 17th game yesterday. Wang did it in predictable
fashion, allowing just eight baserunners in seven-plus innings, and wriggling
out of jams via the double play.

Beckett, too, was characteristic, pitching the best game of any starter in
the game last night, striking out seven in eight innings, limiting his hits
and getting burned just once on a mistake pitch to Matt Stairs. For the
record, here are their lines this season:

  * Beckett: 17-6, 3.30 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 165 K, 36 BB
  * Wang: 17-6, 3.68 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 87 K, 48 BB

It was surprising -- at least, to me -- that Wang snuck into tying Beckett
for the league lead in wins (going 10-2 in your last 13 starts will do it),
but there he is. Back into the conversation.

The aces, perhaps as dissimilar as two pitchers can be -- the one cool and
dispassionate, relying on the grounder and his defense; the other hotheaded
and emotional, amping it up for the strikeout in key spots -- nevertheless
have put up similar numbers this season, with Beckett's slightly better. The
difference has been the role each has been called on to perform.

Wang has carried his team. Aside from Pettitte, and even he only in the
second half, the Yanks have not been able to rely on any of their other
starting pitchers. Take away the ace, and the Yankee starters' line crumbles
from bad to awful:

 * 54-45, 4.77 ERA, 1.44 WHIP
 * 37-39, 5.09 ERA, 1.49 WHIP

Beckett, on the other hand, has had far less pressure in compiling his
career-high win total (and his second-lowest ERA, a far more impressive feat,
considering the division). Matsuzaka and Wakefield have been as good as
expected, if not better, Schilling has been solid though not as much as we'd
hoped, and the supporting cast of Gabbard, Lester, Tavarez and Buchholz have
provided far more out of the five spot than any other comparable starter in
the league.

Consequently, removing Beckett from the Sox' rotation hurts them (obviously),
but not as much:

 * 70-44, 4.09 ERA, 1.28 WHIP
 * 54-51, 4.29 ERA, 1.31 WHIP

Given the choice between the two, I guess you could summarize it this way:
Give Beckett a vote for Cy Young, but give Wang a vote for MVP.
