Brandon Webb or Jake Peavy
This is a tough one for me. Webb gives up a few more runs than peavy. Both of there K's are sick.
I think I would have to go with Peavy in a coin flip

How is it not that close to you if it wasn't for Webbs current streak I think Peavy would be blowing him out of the water IMO.

Gee, xFIP heavily favoring an extreme groundball pitcher. There's a shocker.
But since you're an expert on xFIP, maybe you can tell us what that is, bigboy.

I love it when you call me bigboy. And I know it goes with a groundball pitcher, and I'd much rather have a groundball pitcher, to me they are more consistant. Also like I said before the parks they play in are quite different.
Just curious but what's your argument for Peavy being better, because he Ks more?

A quick-and-dirty comparison of the two using my favorite quick-and-dirty metric, BP's stuff (STF):
Peavy
2004: 31
2005: 36
2006: 34
2007: 41
Webb
2004: 10
2005: 18
2006: 25
2007: 31
STF isn't a tell-all stat by any means but it is a rather decent comparative tool. Add to it that Peavy's two years younger and has a better arsenal of pitches...

K's more, walks less, better FIP, less reliant on his defense, and he gets into tussles with cops.

The explanation, you want me to copy and paste something for ya Jesus?
Or do you want a simple thing like xFIP calculates only things a pitcher can actually control,. That extra little x is there to normalize the hr ball, ie using the flyball data. There ya go brah.

Durability for the win.

Peavy has had a higher VORP for two of the three seasons. Oh, and he's also two years younger.

KTHX, but I already know what xFIP stands for.
Now why does it favor GB pitchers?

Marginally higher and Webb blew him out of the water last year.
Durability FTW.
xFIP favors GB pitchers more because GB pitchers allow fewer flyballs and xFIP normalizes all flyball so that 10% (or whatever the percentage is) are homers. Or something along that line.

Wow, one season. Such a wonderful sample size.
