Let's take Matt Garza as an example
Fangraphs has him as the #2 valued pitcher in baseball right now.
His WAR is already at 2.2 and he $s out at $8.9, both second only to Halladay.
Change in leagues certainly favored an improvement in his performance this year, but most of his numbers are off the charts based on his career norms.
Is this just a first time through the league thing?
K rate is at 11.78 - career before this year around 7.0
GB rate is 48% - career around 40%
HR rate is an almost non-existent 0.18 - career around 1.00
FIP is 1.62 and xFIP is 2.15
Yet he still has a 2-4 record an ERA of 4.17 and a WHIP of 1.35.
How hard do you go after a guy like this?
