Mike, don’t include Minnesota in that list, or even Detroit. Minnesota’s lineup is 10 times better than anything in the NL west or central (excepting St. Louis).

And to Matt, oh how love white sox fans. Always so angry. This was an analytical look at a player and still thinks it’s white sox hate. Here’s white sox hate: if your dumb fans weren’t so busy hating a team across town that’s not even in your own league, maybe they could be a decent team. Have fun watching the corpse of Paul Konerko turn doubles into singles.

Peavy is a better than Burnett, BB/9.

Peavy is still much better than the league average pitcher in the AL.

Peavy looks quite a bit better than Burnett.

The supreme crappiness of the AL central should probably be considered. You have to feel good about a guy throwing most of his games against KC, Detroit, Cleveland, and Minnesota.

i’d take burnett first..but is a good comparison overal… white sox have shotty defense and burnett would prolly collect 2-3 more wins…

I think he’s at least as good as AJ Burnett. Draft him wherever you would draft Burnett.

Really? I think he’s kind of a moron. But to each his own.

Yes, and this year, you’d expect him to perform worse than his xFIP, given half his games are now in the cell. Looking at those numbers, and giving a penalty for NL vs. AL and for pitching in the cell, you’d expect his xFIP in the 4.00 range, and FIP in the 4.15 or so range.
