- Buehrle threw according to their level of talent.

- Dickey's worse than what we saw.

- Johnson is a buy low candidate.

You can't put Dickey in the bad luck category. He has out performed his FIP for most of his career. Wasn't there some one who looked at the stats of knucleballers and found that they all outperformed their respective FIP's?

 

Excuse me, I meant good luck for Dickey.

It's a dispersion between ERA and FIP. I didn't put anyone on any side.

[Angrioter]

If you're comparing luck, why not SIERA or xFIP?

 

Parks factor?

The Jays play in an offensive park, over a large sample you won't get ERA to line up with FIP.

 

Of course you would. Don't be silly.

 

or FIP- vs. ERA-.

 

But that's the same information that he already presented?

[Angrioter]

Yeah, I had a brainfart. It's xFIP that wouldn't line up, since setting HR/FB to league average does not account for park differences.

 

FIP es la cosa, normalized dingers suck.. The groundballers hate the xFIP lol

[GD]

Then use xFIP- or FIP- vs. ERA-.

 

I've fallen in love with the minus stats. Love 'em.
