He has been fairly consistent for a pitcher over the years. 2010 and 2011
were the two years at the extremes. Even though he had similar xFIP (3.55
and 3.25) and SIERA (3.57 and 3.29), his earned runs were way off (5.18 vs
2.82). The reason was a difference in HR/9 (1.50 vs. 0.94) and BABIP (0.341
vs 0.258). Generally, I would expect to see him at 7 K/9 and 2 BB/9 or
around 4 WAR/season
Injuries: None
Conclusion: James is by far the the best pitcher I have looked at in this
series. Healthy, good, consistent. The key is what the Rays want in trade
from the Royals. I would not be surprised to see Butler has part of the
trade. It may take Butler and either Montgomery or Myers
I would not make a huge trade for him unless the Royals have another good to
decent SP in place. By himself, James will probably not be enough to make a
difference in 2012. I think trading for him should be the final piece.
Otherwise the Royals should look to find other possible pieces to solidify
the starting staff.
Butler for 神盾~!!
好像不錯!!!XD
