Kennedy also threw 30 innings in the Hawaiian winter league in 2006, so he's not a +61, he's a +31.
Cleverly assuming that 2008 was not a pennant season, the Pirates were already setting up his baseline to avoid injury in 2009. Some of this gets pretty complicated.
If Verducci can make weak contact against a major league pitcher, so can I. Take that, people who said no amateur could ever touch a major league pitcher back when I claimed I could outhit Pedro Martinez.
Hey, I was on your side about that one, it was the fielding that I thought you were wrong about.

Not me. Popping it up once during spring training is not the same thing as outhitting even Pedro Martinez in a game setting. Most amateurs could not do it, at least not without several months of intense training.
I did quickly back off on the fielding- I agree with you there. I initially picked Ryan Braun at 3B, where he fields .890 or so. Bad decision, I'd probably field .300 or so there. I should have said I could play a better CF than Frank Thomas - that I could probably back up.
In my fantasy world where a MLB team gives me playing time, I'm assuming a full winter of intense training to get to the peak of my limited skills. It would be different than pulling me out of my cubicle, handed a bat, and told to "go get em".
IIRC, Verducci has a pretty good athletic pedigree.
Yea...but he's still no Klapisch!
Yeah, but I think the buzz was he discarded that data b/c it made his point better.
Coupled with 30 starts.
Was still better than his +/- system.
How does this exchange occur between not 2 people, but 4? And quickly, too. AHHH, BTF!
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking this same thing.
Frank Thomas used to be a Division I tight end. I doubt that the above statement is true, even in Frank's current state.
Ooh, Jim Mecir. There's one.
Also probably Tony Gwynn, from what I saw at his induction ceremony.
What was Frank's home to first speed last year? Looking at how often he gets a double on balls hit in the gaps or even off the wall, I like my chances of outplaying him in center field if any team put either of us out there.
I think this column is a strong one, myself.
The funny thing was it was 190 IP the previous year. In some of his qualifiers, the pitchers in question got hurt in the playoff/WS year and didn't pitch 190 IP; others didn't pitch that well.
So starting the season with guys who were durable LAST YEAR was the key to the Series even if those same guys weren't durable in your WS year.
It just makes no sense.
Basically his point was: start the year with pitchers who were good last year, they'll most likely be good this year and WS champions (or playoff teams, I forget which he was fixated on) tend to have pretty good staffs ... especially in years in which they win the WS.
