Geez, what's Chris Young's (SDP) value?

[markj11]

This is hilarious! Why is Young not as good as Santana? His numbers are better, aren't they? I just want to know what kind of logic you guys are using to put him up there with Peavy, and Peavy is pretty much right up there with Santana albeit a small notch below.

So why is it ridiculous to rank him with Santana? This doesn't make any sense?

Incidentally, you call me abrasive but you are getting all riled up over nothing. Notice I didn't call anyone a nut?

You can put Peavy up there with Santana but Young can't be put up there with Peavy. WOW.

What has Peavy proven? Seriously. I don't care if Peavy was awesome in '05. He was LOUSY in 06, worse than Young, in fact, and Young has outpitched him this season. To suggest they are not comparable in fantasy value is ridiculous.

Yep.


Fantasy value and real life value.

Now I am not claiming Young is better, that is a debate that could go for hours (and has).
But to say they aren't even close......is either just not understanding the game, or is just a huge man crush on Peavy problem.

Im not saying that Peavy or Young are either of the guys below but this is how I see it in comparison to each other

Peavy=Smoltz of the 1990's
Young=Maddux of the 1990's

once again Im not saying they are anywhere near those 2, just using them as a reference to make a point.

Peavy/Smoltz were power pitchers, aggressive guys who would rather blow people away early in their careers.
Young/Maddux are guys with below avg fastballs who are great pitchers, using a more mental approach
