Seems like the failure-rate on those big FA pitchers is a little higher than big-time hitters. I guess it would depend on age, since the prime for a pitcher is usually shorter (they're more prone to injury), whereas a good hitter can be steady until his mid-30s. If you're getting the player's best years and not paying for past production, then it's a good deal.

Like, you've got Arrieta sucking after being a Cy Young winner, Kershaw injured, Price was the big FA pitcher last offseason and he's a disappointment so far. (not saying these as FA signings, just looking at how fragile the position is)


Isn't Kershaw already worth over 5 wins and he went on DL like three weeks ago?

Pitching does win championships though...

Kershaw is just a choke artist.

It does. If both are healthy and the same age with the same contracts ill take Trout long term over Kershaw anyday.

No criticism, just a question. Do you think the Angels would be a playoff contender with Kershaw (healthy) rather than Trout?



Impossible to tell.

Hitter. As many have stated, pitchers have a shorter prime and more injury concerns. Hitters are steadier, assuming were talking about a long term deal.

Not the stupid 12 year contracts teams give out, but a more reasonable length contract could work out
