Starting Rotation

[qwerty]

There is  no way to prove which pitcher is a better option then another pitcher, I've said that before, but you can give estimations on how a player will do based on reputation, statistics, AND your own opinions and observations of that pitcher. I've seen a lot of Eric Milton and plenty of Russ Ortiz on TBS and Turner South, and in my opinion, I liked what I have seen from Milton, bad statistics of not. Frankly, i'm not a big Russ Ortiz fan and have always thought that he was overrated. It's easy to see that most of you hate Eric Milton because he was a Twin. You could see that Milton has much better #'s in the posteseason then Ortiz does.

( Milton Postseason Stats: 1-0, 3 Games, 2 GS, 1.65 ERA, 16.3 INN, 13 H, 3 ER, 3BB, 9 K)

 

(Ortiz Postseason Stats: 3-1, 8 Games, 8 GS, 5.05 ERA, 41 INN, 44 H, 23 ER,  24 BB, 26 K)

 

You guys have to know that some statistics lie, some are true, but some still lie. From seeing both of these pitchers a fair number of times, it is my opinion that Milton is the guy that i would choose to go after.

What stats are you referring to that ''lie''? Just curious.

Both pitchers would scare the hell out of me if we got them. That being said I'd rather have ortiz, he's a better pitcher imo.

With all of his walks he would be just as bad in the a.l. as milton i feel. But i really hate milton.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ortiz would get hit hard in the al, however Milton would be even worse, imo. Either way I think I've made it pretty clear what pitcher I want to see pitching at the cell next year.
