A great question that I don't know. I hope so.

 

 

March 9, is the first game I see being televised so far.

 

On another note... 5 hours away from game time!

 

 

Sign up for MLB.TV! Its lower priced this year and no more local blackouts.

 

I know, tell me about it. I gotta get on that.

 

 

I have mlbtv premium

 

 

Koehler routinely sucks in Spring Training.  Focus on the Marcell blast.

 

I'm just not sold on him being a #3 starter

 

 

That seems to be the modal opinion, haha.  Meanwhile, I see him as potentially being one of the best #3 starters in baseball, if not the best.  I like my outcome better.

 

He has the potential to be a decent #3 starter if he can get whatever it is that makes his TTO penalty so severe under control. However, here are a few other #3 starters who I would take over Koehler any day:

 

Patrick Corbin

 

Scott Kazmir

 

Noah Syndergaard

 

Carlos Martinez

 

Gio Gonzalez

 

Lance McCullers

 

Taijuan Walker

 

Drew Smyly

 

There are even some #4 guys that are better than Koehler, like Steven Matz and Jason Hammel.

 

I'm not as down on Koehler as some on here, but he's definitely not the best #3 starter in baseball, especially not on the road.

 

 

I'll go for Kazmir, Syndergaard, and Gio being competitive with him and comparable to him, but in terms of ceiling, and I know that Koehler has a closing window of opportunity, I see him as being above them all, if only he fully develops his secondary pitches. 

 

Noah Syndergaard is a top-20 pitcher in baseball who would be an ace on almost any other team. I know you're not a fan of WAR, but Syndergaard put up more value (3.1) in his rookie season than Koehler has his entire career (2.5). Syndergaard's rookie season was, by every single metric available, better than any season Koehler has ever had. Tom Koehler is a fine pitcher and could be a serviceable middle of the rotation guy, but to say he could be better than one of the best pitchers in the universe is a bit of a stretch.

 

 

Koehler isn't the #3. Maybe on paper he is, but Cosart has more upside than Koehler.
