Yankees Expected to Offer CC a Contract.

[kyhadley]

Yeah, I personally would actually love to sign Lowe, I mean, we have a ton money to spend after the Manny trade, why not?

[Yawkey Way]

the only thing i could see them saying is that they just want to develop bowden/bucky/maybe masterson if they move him back to being a starter

are you saying that's why they shouldn't sign Lowe? or that they won't?

[Yawkey Way]

sorry for not clarifying..

i was saying that would most likely be their only reason to not sign him

[Yawkey Way]

were those stats compiled of just starting, or a mix of starting and relieving?

[kyhadley]

In years in which Lowe only started for Boston:

2002: 32 GS; 219 innings (21-8) 2.58 ERA (3rd in Cy Young)
2003: 33 GS; 203 innings (17-7) 4.47 ERA
2004: 33 GS; 182 innings (14-12) 5.42 ERA
(not sure about home and away stats)

so...there ya have it

edit: got some more stats

2002- home: (9-4) 2.01 ERA, away: (12-4) 3.04
2003- home: (11-2) 3.21 ERA, away: (6-5) 6.01 ERA
2004- home: (8-4) 4.55 ERA, away: (6-8) 6.21 ERA

so here's clearly good at Fenway

and don't forget, in 2004 he clutched in the playoffs..i hope we get him so i can write an article about him in my red sox association

yeah that was one of the most clutch performances ever and noone really talks about it, winning game 7 on 3 days' rest

(and also, baseball-reference has some insane statistics)

[kyhadley]

I know, check the splits section on BR

yeah that's what I was referring to, hit trajectory? i didn't even know they kept track of those things

hey that'd be a fun game, give an obscure stat and have someone find it, lol

[Yawkey Way]

everyone likes BR

[Yawkey Way]

If you get Peavy, I doubt you get C.C

[spidey12293]

i prefer peavy over cc, but that means we will have to give up youth for him

[kyhadley]

Yeah but Sabathia is 300 pounds and he was still throwing in the mid 90's, I don't see it as an issue at all.

uh, wouldn't his weight only contribute to the likelihood of him slowing down? not prove that he won't?

[kyhadley]

I''m still not so sure that its his weight that allows him to do that.

[Yawkey Way]

I think peavy isn't as great as a pitcher as he's made out to be. He usually never throws past the 6th or 7th inning of any game, and he's already nearing 100 pitches by the 5th, and its not like the yankees have a great bullpen
