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.
