I posted this thread on the MLB section of the forum last year so just want to know everyone else's opinion.
This was my post from last year...
This guy is good but I do know why so many people say they take Peavy over many other pitchers. I say he is average mainly because most of the good starts he has is at FRIENDLY petco park. I mean who doesn't pitch good when they pitch there. Since half of his games are pitched at Petco, no wonder why his numbers look so good. I always hear people say he is good but his team dont support him with runs. True Padres are worst offensive team in baseball but don't people know they are playing at Petco? Even the opposing pitcher who might be an average pitcher can give up 1 run in 7 innings at San Diego.
I recalled he won the cy young 2 years ago and in that 1 game elimiation game at Colorado, he laid an egg just like he does when he pitches away from petco park. If it isn't that, he's pitchign against a good team. Last year he pitched at Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium and some other team i forgot that was either in the A.L or was a good N.L and got destroyed. Funny thing about this guy is people say he might be traded to Atlanta and what not. He mentioned he would not go to the A.L. Geez, i wonder why? Is it because his e.r.a will go to a 4.50? His numbers look good but everyones numbers will look good when half their games are at Petco. I mean when was the last time we saw an over under more than a 9 at petco park? When 2 horrible pitchers go at it thats what.
If this guy was put in the A.L , oh man we won't even here much about him anymore. I don't know why so many people think he is so good. He is horrible at big games and even more horrible when playing decent teams. Only teams he can win against are the Giants, Pirates, Dodgers and Nationals. When he plays teams like the Dbacks, Rockies, Cubs he is exposed. I don't even want to talk about what happens when interleague happens when he plays against the Yankees and the Red Sox Guys like Halladay, Lincecum, C.C, Santana are the read deal. Peavy i feel like is very overratted.
Now....look at what he has done this year......
Peavy comes to the AL and pitches for the White Sox and we see how big of a fraud he is. I knew he would be exposed. First 2 games loses and gives up a ton of runs. You see, once he's out of Petco Park, he is an average pitcher at best. And pitching to AL teams of course he won't do good.
I really don't know why so much people think he is so go good. I mean Chris Young for the Padres was very good as well thanks to the friendly confines of Petco Park. I mean most of his games he pitches at home against the Giants. His ERA is just so low the last few years because of him pitching to weak hitting teams.
And then his game last night.. Playing at home against the Rays and gives up 7 runs and 7 hits in 4.1 innings of work. I could not believe that when i checked out the boxscore he also walked 7 players!!!
His ERA is like an 8 now lol. This guy is exposed. He pitched 3 games against AL team and has gotten embarrassed in each game.
This guy is overrated and NOTHING without Petco Park. I will keep bumping this thread after every performance. This guy will be at best 3-7 after his first 10 decisions.
Anyone else agree?
