LD% means nothing to me. Until we have hit f/x telling us how hard pitches are hit, LD can mean something different for every person. And all line drives aren’t created equal.

Homeruns, strike-outs, walks, hits (I understand your aversion to looking at hits)
but he’s consistently shown that he’s going to give up almost 10 hits per 9 innings pitched. 54 starts in his career is a pretty large sample size. He can get away with it because he walks absolutely no one, but it’s a consistent trend.
Looking at the numbers, Weaver gives up just over a hit. Walks more, but K’s more too. I don’t know, It’s close, I’ll admit that. I’d take Weaver. Looking at it more closely, I don’t think it’s as clear cut as either of us have made it out to be. I think they’re virtually the same pitcher.

But fly balls, while they go out of the park, also end up as outs more ofter than groundballs. And if you can be a fly ball pitcher, while not giving up homeruns, you're fine. Sonnanstine and Weaver have almost identical homerun rates for their career.

Giving up more hits doesn't matter so much if you're a ground ball pitcher.
Sonnanstine gets more grounders. For the most part, grounders don’t turn in to doubles or triples or inside the park homers. More hits doesn’t really matter…ground ball tendencies are good, even if they lead you to give up more hits than a flyball pitcher.

He gets hit had from time to time. He’s hittable if he’s off just a little. And sometimes he’s off. He’s got to be perfect to be effective. His stuff just isn’t good enough not to be. You can disagree and I’m fine with that, but that’s where we are. And how I feel about the situation.
