Tell the Whole Story, Pete

Pete,

Tell the whole story. Tell the people that you’ve got a whole lot of coin to
be made if this guy does turn out to be an ace. Tell everyone how the book
you wrote skews your perspective on Wang, because if he turns into a legit
ace, a great story, you may have a chance at making some more money here,
like you already have on the book in Taiwan. Could that have something to do
with why you prop this guy and force him down your readers’ throats unlike
any other player in a Yankee uniform? I’m sure you’ll condescendingly point
out a variety of reasons this isn’t the case, but answer this yes or no - do
you make money off of a book you wrote about CMW? Will you make more if he’s
a Josh Beckett, or if he’s a forgettable #2.5 starter? Take your rose colors
glasses off about a guy who has gotten lucky thus far, and be honest about
your real interest in his success.








※ 引述《alwaysblue (什麼樣的生日....)》之銘言：
: 　　The great debate on CMW continues
: 　　Here is an e-mail I just received. It was, of course, anonymous:
: 　　
: 　　Wang doesn’t strike anyone out and depends on the ridiculous number of
: 　　groundballs he’s able to create being turned into outs. This is not a
: 　　reliable strategy that will produce consistent results over a career.
: 　　It is working in the short term, but as Bill James as pointed out in the
: 　　past, no pitcher with a K/9 below the league average has gone on to have
: 　　a meaningful career. He’s in no way in the same class as someone like
: 　　Beckett and is most definitely not an ace. Unless he develops a legit
: 　　strikeout pitch there will always be the risk that the groundballs get
: 　　through and he’ll have bad starts. He can’t be counted on in the
: 　　playoffs.
: 　　So, the 417.1 innings Wang has pitched the last two seasons are a
: 　　short-term mirage. His going 38-13 is a sign of not having a reliable
: 　　strategy. But the 5.2 poor innings he had in the playoffs, those are a
: 　　sign that he can’t be counted on.
: 　　I think I got my first Bill James report in 1988 and I just received his
: 　　2008 Handbook in the mail. His approach is endlessly fascinating. But
: 　　when the statheads like my anonymous friend leave no room for humanity is
: 　　where they lose me.
: 　　Wang has made only 80 starts in his career, most with two pitches. I’ve
: 　　stood there and watched him work on other pitches in the bullpen. I’ve
: 　　talked to him at length about it. He knows people sit on his sinker. Did
: 　　you know that his slider was his best pitch in college but the Yankees had
: 　　him dump it when he had shoulder issues? Now he’s healthy and he’s
: 　　working on it again. He also is doing a lot of work on a changeup.
: 　　This guy shows up every five days, he pitches deep into games and he has
: 　　handled almost every big-game assignment with aplomb. Why people insist
: 　　on running him down remains a mystery to me.
: 　　————
: 　　A few of my Taiwanese friends have told me that the blog is getting some
: 　　play in Taiwan tonight. So hello to you guys and thanks for reading.
