Scout’s note

A 6-foot-6 lefty from La Romana, Sánchez at 29 has 5.4 WAR, 168.1 innings, and 194 strikeouts with a 2.62 ERA — eighth in ERA, fifth in strikeouts, second in wins. The Index carries him ungraded, on purpose: the stuff model is stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag from it. The ERA-FIP luck gap did clear the bar, and the regression call is filed by hand. The grade waits for the science.

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.
