1549 Posted August 9, 2003 Author Share Posted August 9, 2003 Thanks a lot. That is amazing. Only 2 homeruns in 100 IP. They say you can tell a lot about a pitcher by how many homeruns and walks he gives up. There was a very complicated formula in the book moneyball on assessing pitchers using homeruns walks and then adding on different kinds of hits. For my own sake, I simplified it (I made it simply (BB+HR)/IP) and looked at a couple of pitchers and noticed that good pitchers stay below .400. The best of the best this year (Mulder, Mussina, Loiaza) are below .300. So I thought I would punch Cotts numbers in. unfortunately the walks kill his number.

VAfan Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Walks kill you if you then give up the 3-run HR. Cotts hasn't done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I think its time to see Cotts.. idont care if he walks a lot of people he doesnt give up HR's and he doesnt make mistakes. He is dominating down in AA and I think he needs to be given a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 if they're not going to move him up to the majors at least they should move him up to AAA, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 if they're not going to move him up to the majors at least they should move him up to AAA, right? Probably not, if Birmingham is going to be in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
