May 5, 200719 yr I can't stand Carpenter, Dontrelle should have won they Cy Young in '05. That being said, I hope he has a speedy recovery.
May 5, 200719 yr carpenter has to be one of the nicest guys in baseball...good luck chris, i wish you a speedy recovery
May 5, 200719 yr I can't stand Carpenter, Dontrelle should have won they Cy Young in '05. Carpenter: 21-5, 2.83 ERA, 1.06 WHIP Willis: 22-10, 2.63 ERA, 1.13 WHIP On top of that, Carpenter is a class act. Take off the teal colored glasses.

Dontrelle had more wins and a better era, he would have had atleast four or five more wins if it wasn't for our crappy hitting. If I have to take off my teal colored glasses then you have to take off your blindfold. :thumbup

May 5, 200719 yr On top of that, Carpenter is a class act. Take off the teal colored glasses. You say that as if Dontrelle isn't.
May 5, 200719 yr On top of that, Carpenter is a class act. Take off the teal colored glasses. You say that as if Dontrelle isn't. I never said that. Saying you can't stand a pitcher because he's dominant like louie did is retarded. He deserved the CY over Willis that year.
May 6, 200719 yr Its debatable who deserved the Cy, although I think most writers thought it was going to D-Train and were surprised that Carpenter got it if I remember the response.
May 6, 200719 yr Dontrelle was so dominant for such a long portion of that season that he truly deserved to win the Cy. Only the fact that he is a Marlin kept him from doing it because the Cardinals and Cubs are the ESPN faves of the national league.
May 6, 200719 yr I was wondering if anyone could find out how many innings Carpenter has averaged per start in the last few years?
May 6, 200719 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5771/career Add whatever years innings you want togeather (A), add those years GS togeather (B), and then divide the sum of his innings by the sum of his GS (A/B) and that will give you his average inning per start. He hasn't worked out of bullpen since 2000, so if you want to go that far back you'd have to go through game logs to minus the amount of innings he worked out of the bullpen from his inning total for the year.

Saying you can't stand a pitcher because he's dominant like louie did is retarded. He deserved the CY over Willis that year. You posted stats that clearly favor Dontrelle and you still think Carpenter was more worthy of the Cy? I think YOU are the one that's retarded my friend.
May 6, 200719 yr We all know he got hurt simply because he was the ace of my fantasy squad. It's like the Madden curse. :banghead No, I don't have any Marlins this year. **EDIT: I also drafted BJ Ryan and Dave Roberts. On top of that, Carpenter is a class act. Take off the teal colored glasses. You say that as if Dontrelle isn't. I agree with you Admin, but he did kinda get rolled for that whole drunk driving/pissing in the street deal recently. Bet he's glad the wifey has a law degree.

If I have to take off my teal colored glasses then you have to take off your blindfold. :thumbup Wins and losses should never be taken as a selling point for a pitcher. Too many factors out of the players control (good and bad) that skew the 'stat'. Carpenter's team went to the playoffs (and won a hundred games), the Marlins didn't. Say what you will about that, but it certainly factored in to the decision. Carpetner had a better VORP then Willis. Lower BB/9, more K/9, and less H/9. Plus Willis played in a better pitcher's park (look at their park adjusted ERA). Not taking anything away from them, but Carpetner had a slightly better year in my view. Roger Clemens was the best pitcher in the NL that year anyways.
May 6, 200719 yr Wow I kinda feel bad for Carpenter now. He's got so much talent but he can never stay healthy for long enough.
May 7, 200719 yr I am surprised that the fact that Carpenter was awful after he hit September that season didnt come into play.
