Agent: Ricky Nolasco Wants Out

[emkayseven]

Don't really see all the Ricky hate...$11 million is what a pitcher of his caliber gets nowadays
--------------------
Also don't know why we'd trade him for pennies on the dollar when he's in a walk year and he has only one shot (this year) at a big FA contract given his age so he's got no reason to dog it.

He was worth $11.9 million last year and $15.8 million the year before. So there's that.

Also Bill James predictions for him in 2013: 9-12, 194 IP, 6.91 K/9, 3.94 ERA, 3.71 FIP

In a world where Jeremy Guthrie gets 3 years and $25 million, Ricky Nolasco is worth every penny of his $11.5 million contract. Do we need him? No, but people who are bitching that he gets paid too much or that we should trade him for anything are in their own world

[Party]

He takes too long between pitches.

Jeremy Guthrie has averaged a 2.1 WAR over the last 4 years and just got a 3yr/$25mil deal...and people made fun of it.


Nolasco's averaged 0.9 over the same 4 years.

4.3, 2.5, 3.5, 2.7 averages out to 0.9?

[HUGG]

oh I was on BR where he's 0.5, 1.3, 0.5, 1.5

[emkayseven]

rWAR for pitchers is atrocious

[HUGG]

anyway, those 4 years

Nolasco 739.2ip 815ha 168bb 615k 1.329whip 4.68era 87era+ 9.9h/9 2.0bb/9 7.5k/9
Guthrie 799.0ip 836ha 226bb 460k 1.329whip 4.47era 97era+ 9.4h/9 2.5bb/9 5.2k/9

if Guthrie's worth 8.3 average a year AND that contract got laughed at, there's no way in flying fuck Nolasco is worth 11

[emkayseven]

Except that Guthrie is almost 4 years older and has almost no redeeming peripherals

[HUGG]

what redeeming periphrials does Nolasco have? his constantly rising hit rate and constantly plummeting k rate?

09 9.1h 9.5k
10 9.6h 8.4k
11 10.7h 6.5k
12 10.1h 5.9k

I guess he did stop his rising h/9. Hell give him 13mil a year

Believe me they would love to get rid of him but at 10 million a season he is not very high on anyone's list

The Marlins perfect plan would be trade Ricky and his salary and aquire an older innings eater for about 5 million
