His numbers in his prime weren’t exactly prime.  WHIP of 1.5.  More walks than strikeouts.  It would be similar to giving Cionel Perez every save opportunity and rack up some saves.   Stanhouse wasn’t very good but he had the job.

Stanhouse wasn’t very good ?  His ERA was 2.89 and 2.82 , those are not good ?   Gave up 4 HRS in 147 innings are not good ?   He had the job because he performed ( as ugly it was) .   But I agree with your 1.5 WHIP which is poor for a closer . Then again all this was over 40 years ago . If Stanhouse as back then, attempting to pitch today, he likely would get annilated ( like the other poster said ) .

As Corn said, it's as real as anything else. But since it's new you're not used to the assumptions like you are with ERA. You will just accept that ERA does really weird and wacky things (like, for ex

He’s a turd. Always has been a turd. And his hair is gross.

He had a good ERA.  I think his FIP was 3.66 the one year and 4.66 the other.

Stanhouse got by. It was fine. I hesitate to call his performances good. He tightrope walked his way to a fair number of saves for the era. By bb-ref's figuring his defense was good for nearly half a run a game when he was on the mound, and Memorial Stadium was a pitcher's park.

But the same year Stanhouse had 51 walks and 34 strikeouts in 72 innings, Jim Kern had 136 strikeouts in 143 innings and a 1.57 ERA. Mike Marshall threw 90 games and 142 innings of relief to a 2.65. Señor Smoke had 106 strikeouts and 51 walks in 127 innings. Sid Monge had 108 strikeouts in relief. Rookie Mark Clear struck out 98 in 109 relief innings.

FIP stands for Fielding Independent Pitching. It is a statistic that measures a pitcher's effectiveness based on factors they have the most control over, such as strikeouts, walks, hit-by-pitches, and home runs, while excluding the outcomes of balls hit into play.

And for a little more context for @Allan Bryant, it's been shown that FIP is more predictive of next year's ERA than this year's ERA. Since things like defensive support and the outcome of balls in play are very noisy, or unpredictable.

Knowing nothing else about a pitcher with a a 3.00 ERA and a 4.50 FIP, you'd do well to assume his next year's ERA will be closer to 4.50 than 3.00.

Which makes it strange anyone would go back and look at historical FIP as if it means something. It's also still not very predictive at all. At least ERA represents actual results.

He will pass Smith next season, but I think that's gonna be it; just don't think he has the longevity to go for 4 or more seasons to try and chase the 1 and 2 spots.

Definite HOFer though

He'll probably shoot for 500 and then call it a career.

Will Kimbrel be an All Star? He's tied for 4th in saves with a 0.93 WHIP and .147 batting average against. I suggested a month or so again that he might get selected and got shot down. Is he deserving of a bid?

He could.

A lot of times the charity selections go to bullpen guys so who knows how many slots will be there?

I'm not sure why you'd say ERA represents actual results, while FIP doesn't. FIP accounts for actual walks, strikeouts and homers that are more-or-less just the responsibility of the pitcher. ERA lumps in all kinds of things outside of the pitcher's control, most importantly the quality of the defense behind him. And also the luck of where balls fall in or not. Also the performance of the relievers who come in after the pitcher in question has left someone on base.

Truthfully, ERA is a team stat that's heavily influenced by the pitcher. But it was all we had so we call it an individual stat.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Just for discussion purposes, I’m curious if this is a deal you would want to see the Os make this deal. I know all of this is “just for discussion purposes” but I say this because I do not feel the Tigers will trade Skubal and if they did, I don’t think they would accept this deal but I do think they would have to really think about it.

      Theoretically. So far in the Elias era we tend to trot out elite defense all around the IF. Even Joey Ortiz. Part of that is because we’re young too.  I’d love to see Mayo up, but we get mad when our bullpen gives up a run. Imagine errors.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      If you count the Tigers in that “8 sellers” group, Skubal is much better than a #3. He is a #1 on most teams, but wouldn’t need to be on ours this season. But could fill that role next and beyond. If the Orioles are following the Astros model and don’t intend to buy SP in FA. He is the kind of move that you would make, given that he is the kind of difference-making SP talent that can tilt any postseason series in your favor (think when the Astros acquired Gerrit Cole).

      Heston Kjerstad 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Of course….like I said, there are good players there but if I’m the Os, if this is his best case scenario (and certainly not most likely scenario), I don’t feel too bad about trading him for a true difference making talent. Kjerstad is the guy that you really have to think about.  His value is strong imo, both if we keep Him or if he’s traded.   But ultimately, how do you view him? Is he a player capable of being good enough in the OF? Is he a platoon guy or do you feel he hits lefties as well?    I said this the other day but I think his power is better than any tool Cowser has but that Cowser is the better all around player.  I don’t see the Os trading Cowser because of how they value defense. And it’s not that you have to choose between these guys and Kjerstad doesn’t have to be a GGer to be valuable in the OF but you do have to get guys to help this year and while we should be able to do that without trading any of the top guys, what if we can’t? Do you forgo your best chance to upgrade the team because you don’t want to lose Kjerstad?    I think they keep him and get done what they need to get done but this question will carry on into the offseason and you will now be fully introducing Mayo and Holliday into the conversation and Basallo will be quickly coming behind them and his bat will impact the playing time of Kjerstad, just as Mayo’s could as well. It’s a fascinating puzzle that Elias has to put together and he has to do it while also building a pitching staff that will be in pretty mediocre situation heading into the offseason.
