MarlinsMS_35 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 But Dontrelle is the main one. He is of course the best all-around pitcher in the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinTheWin Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 i'd have to put up an argument for someone like barry zito...as the best all around but i agree that Willis is the best all around but i think zito might be close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Willis is no longer the man But hey, we get to see Griffey again, and again, and again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Willis is no longer the man ( But hey, we get to see Griffey again, and again, and again...loading screens are being redone, but here is what I did manny had like 6 different poses for the 60 loading screen, I picked a different player for each pose. yes JR is one of them, but just one. The loading screen used when the game is over and you are going back to the main menu is random. You just are not lucky and always see JR I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I don't hate Jr. but he's everywhere. He even got two screens after the CTS. (One of him getting a hit, another with him in the dugout.) Too bad we can't throw a Willis anywhere, he kicks ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustinTheWin Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 zito is a really good pitcher what r utalking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 zito is 3 games over .500 in the last 3 seasons. 39-36, last time he won more than 14 games was 2002 Zito had 2 great seasons that is about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHatter Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Zito has some pretty good strikeout numbers and his career ERA of 3.5 isn't bad. Do you realize in 2004 he gave up more hits than innings pitched? He's frequently among the league leaders in bases on balls and hit batemen and frequently is in double digits in teh loss column. He's OK, but he's not even close to the best all-around pitcher in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Zito got real overrated real fast. Beane didn't trade him though, which is genius, because Billy Beane does no wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcurrier2004 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Zito got real overrated real fast. Beane didn't trade him though, which is genius, because Billy Beane does no wrong. Billy Beane is the best GM in baseball. With the money he has to his disposal, he probley gets more wins per dollar spent than anyother team. The guy drafts better than any team in baseball, and his system is changing the thinking among other GM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Beane signed Loiaza to a three year contract for crying out loud! Plus, Oakland's payroll has become more mid-level as of late. Beane bashing aside, Oakland probably has the best chances of winning the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHatter Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Beane needs to show some results. He needs to get a team to the World Series. I know everyone says he doesn't have the budget to do it, but it's not always the high payroll teams that make it in the end. I agree on Loaiza. What was that all about? Frank Thomas signing could be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane bashing aside, Oakland probably has the best chances of winning the west. Loiaza had the 24th highest VORP (for pitchers, all leagues) in 2005, he eats innings, and his Pectoa look very strong for next 3 years. I think it was a great pickup, and with the A's staff the way it is, he is a VERY strong 3-5 pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsMS_35 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well Dontrelle is fun to watch, and in Marlins games he gets the loudest applause, Also did you see his upper-deck HR in Houston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxis Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Best all around pitcher IMO is Johan Santana. And judging pitchers by their W-L record isn't very smart, because a great pitcher on a poor offensive team may not win as many games as an average pitcher on a great offensive team.

SwinginSoriano Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Santana should have been Cy Young. They gave it to a guy who weighs a metric ton instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eber Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Santana should have been Cy Young. They gave it to a guy who weighs a metric ton instead. Word. Santana's numbers far outshine Colon's. Ooooo...21 wins. :roll: And along with thread, what does best all-around pitcher mean? Fielding too? I don't know about Willis' fielding but he gets a bonus because he can swing the bat.

JP_Frost Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 a pitcher's ability to swing a bat is only valuable in the NL. It's definately a plus for that particular NL team to have a guy like Marquis, Hampton, Willis or Zambrano, but it doesn't help you at all in the AL. It's very difficult to say which pitcher is better than the other, there are so many things to consider. However, a pitcher's most important task is to get outs. Strikeouts are probably the ones that the pitcher gets most credit for, but they may not be the most efficient ( alot of strikeout pitchers run their pitch count up ). If it were up to me, I'd want a guy with a good groundball:flyball ratio ( with more groundballs than flyballs ) and a solid K:BB ratio. Roy Oswalt is a good example. Of course fielding ( and to some extend batting ) are pretty important as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinTheWin Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 all around...santana is not all that athletic...awesome picther but he's not all around like to go play right field and all-around means to me that they can do other things than just pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
