Career

Player A: 8.6 H/9, 1.0 HR/9, 3.0 BB/9, 7.6 K/9, 2.55 K/W -- Will be 30 years old.  Home park pitch indexes of 99, 93, 102, 100, 90, 97, 102, 101

Player B: 9.3 H/9, 1.3 HR/9, 2.8 BB/9, 7.6 K/9, 2.68 K/W -- Will be 28 years old.  Home park pitch indexes of 96, 111, 106, 98, 105.

 

Player A has started 73 games -- logged 457 IP the last three years. 

Player B has started 75 games -- logged 411 IP the last three years.

 

Player A is viewed as a viable number 3? and worth 65-70 mil for 5 years

Player B is viewed as a bad number 5, and not worth 24 mil over 3 years.

 

The difference between Garza and Hughes is not as huge as people think.   .

In my opinion, it depends on if the Angels can get Tanaka.  If the Angels sign Tanaka, you don't need Garza.  You can then trade Howie for a #4 type of pitcher.  If the Angels don't sign Tanaka, Garza is a must IMO.  The dude would be a solid #3 for the team and then you can still trade Howie for a #4 pitcher.

Player B is definitely worth $8M a year over 3 seasons. 

 

Gotta love Dipoto.

 

I'm not even trying to bag on Dipoto, or the Angels -- we have no idea what their plans are.  Just pointing out how the gap between the two pitchers isn't that wide and yet the fan perception seems to be.

The thing is, Player B is already going to be pitching in Minneapolis for the next 3 years. So that leaves us with Player A, who will be much more expensive.

That's because fans make statements and decisions based mostly on emotion.
