Wow! How was that guy in the majors in the first place!?

Padreman · 04-11-2014, 09:08 PM

I was thinking the same thing, 32 starts not 1 win

killer K/BB ratio

How did he get past 10 starts?

Padreman · 04-12-2014, 01:40 AM

It blows my mind that this dude did not get released, demoted, benched or traded

Looking at his ERA+, it looks like your league is experiencing a hitters era.
His ERA is 2.2 runs higher but his ERA+ is only 3 lower.

That is a huge jump in one year in overall league offense.

Look at the difference in BABIP.

Peregrine · 04-12-2014, 07:13 AM

I'm just amazed his morale is still good after that season.

I am curious about his minor league history

Even if that is true, his 0-20 record suggests that he was one of the worst pitchers in the league unless his teams offense was drastically worse than everyone else's offense. Even if they were only a little bit worse than everybody else's, you would think that a merely bad pitcher would be able to luck into a few wins. Going 0-20 suggests to me that this is a confluence of a really bad pitcher, a really bad offense, and some really bad luck. That's a remarkable season regardless of run scoring environment.

Here is the funny thing, this guy never played in the minors he drafted and when straight to the majors. His team won 95 games but missed the wildcard. The wildcard winner won 96 games. If this dude would have won just two games they would have been in the play-offs

My morale would be tremendous if I put up those numbers and a team chose to continue employing me.

In a fictional league I had, I expanded, but did not do an expansion draft. It appears the team did not sign enough relievers, as guys were pitching massive amounts of innings. I had a guy go 1-38 in a season, with 29 complete games.

Now that's bad

kingtut313 · 04-14-2014, 12:35 PM

only a -3.8 WAR, how bad are the other pitchers in the league?

HolyCow98 · 04-14-2014, 12:47 PM

I would feel like something was broken with my settings and/or modifiers. That would serious mess with my immersion of that league.

I'm not sure if you took a Rookie league team or maybe even a high school team and make them play a season at the MLB level that they'd have a pitcher play that much and do that bad.

Padreman · 04-14-2014, 01:07 PM

No modifiers are fine, all other pitchers are doing great in fact it's a pitchers league over all, low home runs and batting averages and no HS or college teams
Promoted to ML or any minor league in that fact.

Padreman · 04-14-2014, 01:09 PM

I been keeping eye on he started the next season 0-5 and then went strictly relife finished 1-9. Was realesed and never. Sign by anyone again so far

HolyCow98 · 04-14-2014, 01:28 PM

I wonder why they kept sticking with him....since it sounded like league wide he was the only one that was inept. The only thing I can think of would be the team he played for just didn't have enough players and they had to go with him due to no other options.

I wonder what his ratings were...they look like they'd be something like 2/4/1 (on the 1-10 scale) based on his results.
