Who is Chris lower on in his 2024 rankings?

Welcome into MPT in five on Saturday, January 20th.

with George Kirby, who I will admit,

I am the high guy on, I have him as my SP 9. Chris you have him down at

SP 15 Scott even lower down at SP 18 why are you looking to fade George Kirby

at his cost? I think the biggest thing is just in an era where

strikeouts are so important. He just doesn't get very many of them. He was

under a strikeout per inning last season and if like, if you look at the second half

versus first half splits, on the surface

it looks encouraging, 25% strikeout rate

after the all-star break versus 21% before. If you look into the game logs it's kind of fake. He had a

three-start stretch at the end of July with 26 strikeouts, I believe believe in 15 innings.

From August 1st on, his strike out rate was 22%,

which is right around the average.

It would be an improvement over the first half,

but not the big improvement that it looks like

if you just look at the overall second half splits.

I think it really good fastball great command obviously still looking for that swing and miss secondary pitch.

The splitter showed signs of that in the second half,

although as he started throwing that splitter more
