Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted June 4, 2006 Author Posted June 4, 2006 Maybe their should be a starts minimum for starter-specific categories and an innings minimum for all pitching categories. I'll assign them if no one else speaks up. Or if no one else cares.Edit: I think the standard is 1 inning pitched per game played to qualify as a starter. We can use that. I'm leaning towards just waiting until the end of the season and seeing the breakdown of innings pitched for each pitcher and setting a cutoff then. But more importantly, does anyone really care?

Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 7.5 as the projected high for losses by a pitcher is pretty nice. Though it mostly is due to the high number of pitchers used this year.
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 I don't think anyone picked Darren Oliver to lead the team in (low) ERA.
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Can a friendly neighborhood mod put this into the baseball forum?

Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Awww crap. Those counts are wrong. We're not at the 2/3 mark until after Friday's game. I'll redo them this weekend.

That's a little to the side of what I was getting at. I was underlining my surprise at seeing his ERA at 2.04 and leading the team. Whether he was on the team or not, I doubt the number of times he was picked (zero) would've changed.
