oh boy, FIP.
Burnett: 121-111 W/L, 4.10 ERA, 1.332 WHIP, 105 ERA+, 1960 IP, 1791 K, 826 BB
Arroyo: 122-105 W/L, 4.28 ERA, 1.316 WHIP, 104 ERA+, 1874 IP, 1226 K, 554 BB
Both guys entering age 35 season, Burnett 309 GS, Arroyo 291 GS.
I mean, you would be hard pressed to find two more identical careers. They are two vastly different types of pitchers, but the results are undeniably similar.
Burnett strikes out more batters, Arroyo walks less batters. Aside from that, you can talk about ground ball rates or FIP alll you want, but at the end of the day you have two guys who allow almost an identical amount of baserunners and earned runs, over a almost identical workload, over the same years in the same era, and are nearly identical against the rest of their respective leagues in adjusted ERA.
I dont even know what the point is here, other than the Reds aren't trading Arroyo, because even if they found a willing partner, they aren't paying the $15MM deferred cash.
