Johnny Cueto vs. David Price These twelve stats show a great side by side comparison of two of MLBs best starting pitchers. Cueto: Price: ERA 2.25 3.26 SO 242 271 WHIP .96 1.08 BAA .194 .240 IP 243.2 248.1 CG 4 3 FIP 3.27 2.71 BABIP .238 3.09 K/9 8.9 9.75 WARP 3.1 3.8 VORP 25 17.8 Age 28 29 Im gonna ignore the DH factor and the size differences of GABP, Comerica, and Tropicana Field, to avoid the AL vs NL pitch difficulty and FIP arguments, respectively. Basically, Cueto takes 6/12, while Price takes 5/12. I have age equal as theyre only five months apart. Price just avoided arbitration with Detroit for a whopping $19.75M for one year. Bo McKinnis, Prices agent, made a deal surpassing the previous highest Max Scherzers $15.25M one year salary for an arbitration eligible player. This raises some questions. Does this worry Reds fans? I have Cueto as a slightly better starting pitcher. Will Cuetos agent, Bryce Dixon, be working some similar requests and magic? Most importantly, can the Reds afford to keep Johnny Beisbol? Am I the only one biting my nails? *stats from 2014 Baseball Prospectus
