let’s look at future Hall of Famer John Smoltz.
John Smoltz
Right-Handed Pitcher
Age: Turns 42 on 5/15/09
Last Season Performance: 28 innings, 25 hits allowed, 36/8 K/BB, shoulder
surgery
Fastball: “Smoltzie” was dialing it up to about 95 MPH (93 on average) when
he was healthy last April, which is impressive for a guy whose pro career dates
back to the Reagan administration. But, he is recovering from shoulder surgery,
so the usual caveat applies…
Split-Fingered Fastball: Just a nasty pitch, 88-90 MPH and moving about 7-8
inches horizontally (like a screwball).
Slider: Smoltz was throwing his slider much more often in 2008 in lieu of the
fastball. It’s still effective, 85 MPH and throw for strikes about 75% of the
time.
Curveball: A hard curve, about 78 MPH. Not thrown very often.
Control: As good as anyone. Smoltz is one of those guys whose control improved
greatly as their career progressed.; He averaged 3.7 walks per 9 innings when
he was a 26-year-old, compared to 1.1 walks per 9 innings when he was 36. Like
every other aspect of his game, it was taken to an elite level.
Durablility: Geez, who the hell knows? At this point we have to assume that the
guy will have serious durability issues. The article I liked above uses June
1st as a debut estimate, and I consider it a prudent estimate. The one bright
spot you can point to is his 2007 innings total: 206.
Comments: The Red Sox have had decent success in recruiting aging legends of
the mound during the sunsets of their respective careers. Curt Schilling, Bret
Saberhagen, Tom Seaver, so on and so forth. Smoltz should ass another notch to
that list. While fans may still be sore from the Bartolo Colon experience,
Smoltz is nothing like Bartolo physically and mentally.
Jimmy’s Prediction: 17 starts, 108 innings, 101/29 K/BB, 3.48 ERA, 9 wins, 4
losses. (Let’s see how I do against Bill James, Marcel, ect…)
