Class of 2023 PF Devin Williams (CA) Portal from FAU / Interest

[bnoro]

He makes like two starts a year against the Yankees and he stinks his other 29 starts.

Huh? He was excellent last season. Decent to great the two years prior. He's also 26.

He was lucky all year last year. Underlying data was awful. This year the exact same and the results that were expected last year are finally catching up to him.

Who thought he was another Pedro? Not a single person ever made that comparison lol.

And he's been nails against the Yankees in plenty of big spots.

Wrong. Pedro for one. I don't make stuff up about the Red Sox. Or anything else.

I don't think he was lucky. He has excellent stuff. I just question his make up. Watch what happens to him after something goes wrong.

Wait we’re gonna die eventually?? Why did nobody tell me this??

Start following Bryan Johnson. (Google him if you aren’t aware of him. Kind of interesting.)

How did he do in game 2 last year? Sadly, just what I expected.

I don't know. Kind of whacky.

Look at his baseball savant page. It’s not really an opinion that he was lucky. It’s a fact.

It really is an opinion. I like savant but it isn't information from the right hand of the father. I watch every game. I've coached the game. He has real good stuff. He wasn't lucky.

So should I pick up Devin Williams for my fantasy baseball team?

He has nearly identical pages between this year and last year. How do you explain the inconsistency?

Easy. It's when things happen. Can you make a pitch when you need to. That isn't luck. Are you saying he is unlucky now vs last year? There isn't a G.M. in baseball that pays attention to baseball savent. Like golf magazine and investment weekly, they are for amatuers. And I like looking at it but I don't treat it as the gospal. There is a page on the internet that goes at great length to the weakness of baseball savent. It's worth a read

 

[RyanCuse44]

Please take the baseball stuff to another board and stay on track with Devin Williams.

 

[CardiacCuse]

If you can land this kid with a good offer then don’t bother dragging out Freeman. Get him and then go get a lead guard we need and put a stamp on the top 11 of the roster and then fill things in.

how many more seasons do we need to go with weak center corps to learn that it doesnt work?

nned 3 good centers...not pfs...centers

He out performed his xERA by a full run… that’s just one stat.

Why watch the games when we can look at underlying analytics? I watch baseball for wins and losses not for the nerds to tell me that the team was lucky.

It's also been like 4 games this season. "Finally catching up to him" lol

This might be your best take.

Drives me nuts when award season rolls around and people resort to hypothetical statistics to bolster a player's candidacy.

YOU HAVE ACTUAL GAME RESULTS, JUDGE THOSE
