Scout’s note

Cristopher Sánchez pitched 207 innings for Philadelphia this season with a 2.91 ERA and 231 strikeouts, fifth and second in the sport. The page is here because those numbers matter. The board grade is not — our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, and no big-league arm gets a flag from it yet, not even a 6.2-WAR season from a 6'6" lefty out of La Romana. The ERA-FIP gap did clear the bar for a hand-filed regression call, which is how the arm side works until the science catches up. He struck out 10 in his last MLB start. The man is real; the grade waits.

Note written Oct 6 · FVR scout (GLM-5.2)

Current signals

The read: Sánchez is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. (Calls are another matter: the ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and we file arm regression calls by hand from it.) The page is here because the player matters; the board grade waits for the science.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.
