I didn't know he had a start in sac last year. hmph

molarmite · 07-05-2009, 03:04 PM

And Bailey has already made his 1st All-Star team.

AL rookie of the half-year: Andrew Bailey, Athletics

Ricky Romero? Rick Porcello? Brad Bergesen? Jeff Niemann? They've all had their moments. Lots of them. But you won't find any of those fellows on the All-Star team next week, will you?

Hasn't allowed a run since June 10.You'll find Andrew Bailey on that team, though. And granted, that's partly because Selig's Law requires that somebody from Oakland has to be an All-Star. But if you think that's the only reason, you'd better take notes on these next few sentences.

First off, we love Andrew Bailey's whole saga. A year ago this time, he was 1-8 with a 6.18 ERA as a starter in Double-A. Then the A's moved him to short relief, and an official bullpen monster was born. He had an ERA under 1.00 the rest of the year in Midland, Texas.

Now he's the actual answer to these two cool trivia questions: What pitcher leads all AL relievers in strikeouts this year? No, not Jonathan Papelbon or Mariano Rivera. It's Bailey, with 57 (in only 48 2/3 innings). And which AL reliever has had the most outings this year with multiple strikeouts? Nah, not Joe Nathan or J.P. Howell. It's Bailey again (22 multi-whiff games in 37 outings). So hand this half-trophy to the pride of Voorhees, N.J.

Apologies to: Romero, Porcello, Bergesen, Niemann, Nolan Reimold, Alfredo Aceves, Brett Gardner, Brett Anderson, Scott Richmond.

Get back to us in three months on: David Price, Matt Wieters, Gordon Beckham.

I certainly wouldn't have guessed it'd turn out like this when I started this thread three years ago!

Bailey IS the rookie of the year!

That's the first big step toward the hall of fame.

I was a little suprised by that - I thought Porcello was going to win.

Brett Anderson was better than Porcello was.

Maybe in your opinion. Their stats are actually remarkably similar. IMO, Porcello should get some credit for pitching meaningful baseball after June. Including leaving the play-in game with the lead.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with an individual award.

Andrew Bailey traded from Oakland Athletics to Boston Red Sox - ESPN Boston

Was our old friend 3313 fond of the Sox at all?

ukhotstove · 12-29-2011, 08:57 AM
