Sox sign Porcello to a 4 year extention

[Rebbiv]

So you and I agree it is a bad stat to judge pitchers?

When comparing pitcher A to pitcher B without any other discriminators, it is a horrible stat. For explaining how well a pitcher did or didn't do, at larger sample rates, it is fine within the context.

It would be like looking at a fly ball pitcher having to pitch in a band box. His HR allowed numbers are going to be skewed. Do when then discount that stat entirely?

Trade Retrospective: Red Sox trade Yoenis C?spedes to the Tigers for Rick Porcello
The trade filled a need for both sides, but it was also a strange trade that created a new need in the process.

It's kind of fun to re-visit some of these threads. I'm sure Boston regrets giving him that extension.
