Meet David Price
There's not much I can tell you that you don't all ready know, but I'm going to try anyways. First his numbers:
Vero 9.61 K/9, 1.82 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, 1.67 FIP, 22.6 LD%, 48.4 GB%, .308 BABIP
Mont 8.68 K/9, 2.53 BB/9, 1.11 HR/9, 3.92 FIP, 12.6 LD%, 57.0 GB%, .246 BABIP
Durh 8.50 K/9, 4.50 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, 2.81 FIP, 22.4 LD%, 51.7 GB%, .393 BABIP
The encouraging thing is the strikeouts ratio carrying over although Durham's numbers are regular season only, so it's less than 20 innings of sample size. Price is/was a groundball pitcher (YES!) who seems to have good enough control and stuff to post K/BB rates of 3+ as soon as next year (YES!) while limiting homeruns (YES!). Here is minor league splits MLE for Price this season (cumulative stats):
MLE 6.39 K/9, 2.59 BB/9, 0.89 HR/9, 4.15 FIP, 17.5 LD%, 53.3 GB%, .288 BABIP
That compares quite nicely to the season being produced by Pirates ace Paul Maholm, who ranks 60th of 126 pitchers in tRA. The difference? Maholm gives up more than a homerun per nine and he's starting, Price will figure to do some relief work until need dictates otherwise.

Days off...
I appreciated yesterday’s rest…. I think we ALL needed it after this Fenway trip. I was very disappointed that tonight’s game was pp’d… I was really looking forward to keeping it up and lowering the magic number…
Needless to say I was VERY excited about tomorrow’s games(s) before I heard this news…. Now it’s even better. Longo, Price, Gomes…. etc. Very good reason to feel good about the finish to our season…. btw, any word on BJ?
All things LONGORIA!

How about over Percival?
I think he’s now their worst pitcher. At first he shouldn’t have been the closer, but he was still a good option for the 7th or 8th inning. Now he shouldn’t pitch at all.

David Price decided to sell his urine.
The product is called Red Bull.

If you told me that was true.
It would not surprise me.

That MLE is completely reasonable and completely above-average
He’s a league-wide 3rd starter right now, and fits in just behind our top four starters.
