Name: Andrew Cashner 
Position: Starting Pitcher
Bats/Throws: Right/Right
Opening Day age: 24
Uniform Number: 48
Does he celebrate on September 11th every year?: Well, it IS his birthday, so I would imagine so. Wouldn’t you?
Where Does He Rank Among National League Fifth Starters?: 9th
The good news is that Beyond the Box Score has him rated above every other 5th starter in the NL Central except Mike Leake of the Reds (5th). Cashner comes in ahead of Chris Narveson in Milwaukee (10th), Kyle McClellan in St. Louis (11th), Charlie Morton in Pittsburgh (14th) and Nelson Figueroa in Houston (15th).
The bad news is that he comes in behind Tom Gorzellany, but just barely.
| PROJECTION | IP | K | BB | HR | ERA | FIP |
| Steamer | 80 | 69 | 33 | 7 | 4.12 | 3.95 |
| Oliver | 70.0 | 59 | 33 | 6 | 3.94 | 4.04 |
| ZiPS | 68.0 | 59 | 34 | 6 | 3.84 | 4.11 |
| Marcel | 52.0 | 46 | 22 | 6 | 4.24 | 4.25 |
| Fans | 125.0 | 113 | 60 | 15 | 4.06 | 4.44 |
| CAIRO | 56.6 | 48 | 26 | 6 | 4.44 | 4.47 |
| Guru | 54.5 | 47 | 25 | 7 | 4.62 | 4.52 |
| PECOTA | 78.6 | 60 | 45 | 8 | 4.75 | 4.71 |
| CBS | 54.1 | 50 | 30 | 8 | 4.81 | 4.94 |
| RotoChamp | 54.0 | 50 | 30 | 8 | 4.43 | 5.04 |
| Average | 69 | 60 | 34 | 8 | 4.33 | 4.45 |
He’s kind of all over the place in the projections, so it’s hard to know what to make of them. PECOTA doesn’t seem to like him much and the Fantasy sites seem to really dislike him, but if he can even match the lower projections here, I’d have to think we couldn’t be totally disappointed in him.
Baseball-Reference.com’s Most similar pitcher: Not enough data.
Why We Might Like Him:
-
He’s the Cubs’ first round draft pick from 2008, so we assume he has some skills
-
He produced a combined 2.79 ERA in the minors since 2008, including three dominant starts in AAA before he got called to the majors
-
His presence on the roster means an absence of Carlos Silva
Why We Might Hate Him:
-
He is a rookie and he is going to make rookie mistakes. Cubs fans don’t like rookie mistakes.
-
He walks a few too many people to make us comfortable. Those walks on windy days at Wrigley will haunt him.
-
This may only be me, but I’m already tired of people referring to him as Ca$hner or simply $ner.
If You Rearrange the Letters in His Name You Get: A NEW NERD CRASH
What Cubs Blogosphere Thinks of Him:
I keep reading about Andrew Cashner being a ground ball pitcher. In the sense that every pro pitcher is a ground ball pitcher, it is true. He’s been just average at each professional level, for the league (non age-adjusted).
Cashner was being groomed for the rotation throughout his minor league tenure — he made only four relief appearances and 39 starts before being called up last May to the major league bullpen. Outside of two major meltdowns when he allowed six runs in an inning or less, he was quite solid in relief.
Cashner was a starter almost exclusively in the minors (39 starts in 43 minor league games) so it’s not foreign to him. Though strict pitch counts in the minors left him with a crazy stat line. He went 10-7 with a 2.79 ERA in those 39 starts. Seventeen decisions in 39 starts with a sub 3.00 ERA?
I could see Cashner opening the season as the fourth or fifth starter for the Cubs, and to be honest, I’m rooting for that. Then again, if the Cubs have issues getting the ball to Carlos Marmol, Cashner’s presence in the bullpen might become a necessity, and I would completely understand.
Nice write-up. The rapid-fire of posts in your first two days of new existence is very impressive.
Just FYI: Koyie is now OPSing .202 (dying laughing)

I try to find a wide cross section for the quotes. And that includes the kool-aid drinkers.
The projection systems always have a tough time with pitchers with uncertain roles. I wish projection systems would give 3 sets of numbers for pitchers – as a starter, as a reliever, and combined.
Just got myself tickets to AT&T Park for Giants vs. Rockies on Willie Mays’ 80th birthday. Looking forward to seeing that stadium.
That said, given the IP listings it looks like most of the systems think he’s a pretty average relief pitcher, which doesn’t say much for his effective ERA/FIP as a starter.

It will be nice to see it without having a real rooting interest. It makes it easier to appreciate without being pissed that the Cubs are losing.

So Koyie Hill’s wOBA after today’s game is .097. Seriously. In 35 plate appearances and a projected .290 wOBA, 1 standard deviation is .081. He’s more than 2 standard deviations away from his projected level of performance. Then consider spring training stats are usually inflated because it’s Arizona and you’re facing shitty players. It’s probably more like an expected .310 wOBA. Koyie Hill is not good at sports.

Airwolf was a recent show I enjoyed. Also, Spencer for Hire.
Kids in the Hall is probably my favorite recent show.
All in the Family remains my favorite recent show.
AC, any ideas how to clear the cache for the iphone/ipod? I think what I’ve read it sounds like that may help. I might look to add a link to that footer to get back there in the future if someone does that.
You guys are nuts. M*A*S*H is easily the best recent show on television.

You guys sure have a penchant for beating a meme to death (dying laughing)

Thanks, MO. I’ll look at that tomorrow. I’m out.

It’s only a flesh wound
[quote name=Rice Cube]You guys sure have a penchant for beating a meme to death (dying laughing)[/quote]Is that like a meta-joke?
I tried clearing the cache and cookies (in Settings, Safari) but to no avail.

Maude is the best ever show. Recent or not.
Prove me wrong.

Watch the video of the dude who saw bigfoot, the shit he talks about is hilarious. I used to live in that town, and loved bigfoot when I was young. This is just bizarre hilarious shit.

The thing from Cubsfx seems wrong to me, severely wrong. Cashner had a 48.4% GB rate last year. MLB average is only 43%.
Secondly, in the minors, his rates were slightly higher than that. He was over 50% at multiple levels, I remember because I followed him extremely closely. So I don’t get it. No, he’s not Brandon Webb, but he most certainly does get more grounders than most. Even if only 5% more, I’d say that’s fairly significant.

I think Harry was talking about his minor league career, where average GB rates tend to be higher.

Yes, that was taken from a post either shortly after or shortly before he debuted last year.
There really hasn’t been a ton written on Cashner so finding snippets was more difficult than I thought it would be.
Ah, OK. Well, I guess that’s a fair point then, I just felt it was worth noting that his GB rates carried over to the majors, which I imagine doesn’t happen for lot’s of guys.
Did anybody else walk away from this thinking “holy crap, Nelson Figueroa is still in baseball?”
