Look what people have to say about the RLYW!

CAIRO just takes the Marcels and changes the underlying assumptions and components in a bunch of ways that make the Yankees look better.

Wow, two stupid posts in one day. I think you’ve reached your yearly quota.

I don’t know if any of you current posters were around for that, but if so, I just can’t understand how you can call yourselves Yankee fans. Pathetic quitters is what you sounded like. Of the lame posts I could stand to read, the only person who had any confidence in the Yankees at that point was a (yeesh) Red Sox fan.

NY Post: Yankees’ target Wilson comes up small for Rangers

Postseason lessons have been painful for Wilson.

He is 1-4 over seven career postseason starts. He is 0-2 in three starts this year. In 15 2/3 innings he has surrendered 21 hits, 17 runs, 16 earned and six home runs. This marked the second straight October he has lost Game 5 of the ALCS. He was beaten 7-2 by the Yankees and CC Sabathia in Game 5 last season in the Bronx.

Usually, the press waits until a player has become a Yankee to label him as unclutch.  Looks like Wilson’s got a running start if the Yankees want to pursue him.

I think Wilson’s worth pursuing to a certain point, but I wouldn’t overpay for him.  I recently found Yu Darvish’s 2011 stats which weren’t included when I ran my numbers in the last post.  So here are his career numbers.

Year Team Lg Level Age IP H R ER HR BB SO RA ERA FIP
2005 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 18 94.1 97 37 37 7 48 52 3.54 3.54 4.59
2006 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 19 149.2 128 55 48 12 64 115 3.32 2.90 3.99
2007 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 20 207.2 123 48 42 9 49 210 2.08 1.82 2.45
2008 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 21 200.2 136 44 42 11 44 208 1.98 1.89 2.50
2009 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 22 182 118 36 35 9 45 167 1.78 1.73 2.75
2010 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 23 202 158 48 40 5 47 222 2.14 1.78 2.02
2011 Nippon Jap Pac Intl 24 232 156 42 37 5 36 276 1.63 1.44 1.57

Forget about MLEs and translations or whatever.  If Darvish had put up that 2011 season in AAA he’d rightfully be considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball.  Hell, even in AA probably.  Is it unrealistic to think that the level of competition he’s faced is at least of AA quality?

I think he should be the Yankees’ primary target.  Is he a risk?  Yeah.  Can the Yankees afford to take it?  Yeah again.
