Tom Glavine = John Lester???

@Chuck_Dizzle29 said in Tom Glavine = John Lester???:

You can't tell me a Signature Series Tom Glavine card will have the same overall as a John Lester card from last year.

Two time CY winner, WS MVP, and first ballot HOFer. Far better career and peak numbers than Lester.

YOU HAVE FS PITCHERS RATED HIGHER THAN TOM GLAVINE... GTFOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You figured out a way to make Adam Jones a 96, work your magic SDS and fix this travesty, or remove the HR display ‍️

This is only in reference to your(and everyone else) homerun display request.....if you let the player cross the plate and high five his homies the banner will disappear. It has been patched.

All these complaints are being made under the assumption that Glavine doesn't get a 99 later this year. Which he very well can still have.

A Signature Series card will be his best. Plus his stats are not as goos as I thought they would be, he was a great pitcher but hard to rate him for a video game. 3.54 career ERA, 3.95 FIP, 8.8 H/9, and 5.3 k/9.

Keep in mind his comp (height of steroid era) which explains his very high fWAR and bWAR

The fact that Kluber (a career 34.6 fWAR pitcher) has a god like 99 card, and Tom Glavine (a career 66.7 fWAR pitcher) gets a 95 overall and it's a SS!! Which I thought was supposed to be pumped up...
This year's cards a total mess

Awards and Prime cards are pumped up as much as SS cards are, they mentined this in an early stream. A career WAR makes no difference comparing an award card with signature.
Award - 1 year
Prime - around 3 years
Signature - a whole career

Ok sure. And without going off last year's signatures, since most were pumped up beyond this year, I'll assume they brought SS ratings down judging off Glavine being a 95...

Glavine was a better pitcher than Newhouser. Plain and simple.. both SS....
Newhouser is a 98...

Since they are both SS cards; compare their career stats, Newhouser was better in every metric. Glavine pitched more inning and had more wins, every per 9 besides BB/9 favors Newhouser.

They don't take these things into effect. Plus the dead ball era ended before Newhouser was born, he pitched in the 1940's and 50's with Ted Williams and his likes who were putting up pretty monster numbers.

Dead ball era was prior to 1920

I mean if you want to go that route.
Newhouser's 5.4 K/9 is way more impressive then Glavine's 5.3 because Newhouser pitched in an era with much less strikeouts

WAR doesn't travel time periods as well as people make it out to be. WAR is a reflection of a player's value above league average.

We're talking about a HOF pitcher being rated lower than FS and some other career cards that shouldn't be better.

He'll start higher than that as a new reward. SP is more coveted so he'll come down but for the time being as BR reward I'd say 175k on the cheap side for a while.

Showing the value above league average in different eras is exactly why WAR is the best way to compare different periods..

But yes!! I agree. The fact that these prospects are rated the same or higher than an absolute pitching great is terrible.

Kyle Wright is arguably the Braves 4th best prospect and is rated around the same as Glavine.. that's a crime

The FS thing is a complete lost cause so no need to even bring that up anymore. And that other guy brought up a pretty good point. While in theory Glavine should be rated 98-99, his Career H/9, K/9, and BB/9 are all worse than Lesters. Giving him a 95 is actually pretty reasonable when his real life per 9s weren’t actually all that great, and thats what drives the ratings for pitchers in this game

Except is doesn't account for the disparity in league average talent. Newhouser pitched his best ball during WWII years when highly talented players were gone. There were different amounts of teams, amount of games played, and number if players in the league.

I like WAR a lot, just not jumping decades with it as an understandable truth.

Look at league wide strike out rate in Glavine's time and now Lester's. Lester's K/9 isn't higher because he's a better offer, hitters don't care about striking out as much. The other two career stats are minimally different.

Pitcher WAR is inflated for current pitchers because of the value it places on K's. Strikeouts weren't a goal for pitchers until the last 10 years really. Eating innings and minimizing contact was the game. Did you have some outliers like Nolan Ryan, yes, but it just wasn't a thing like it is now.

Robbie Ray had over 12 K/9 last year and a WAR of 2.4, look at the rest of his numbers and tell me you think that was a good season.
