  1. His era is where it is BECAUSE of the defense behind him. That's the point of FIP - fielding INDEPENDENT pitching. Taking the defense out. Its saying he's benefitted by things outside his control by more than a full run already. It makes no sense to claim one pitcher on the same staff will magically start over performing his FIP and others won't.
  2. "owns a 3.33 ERA..... and despite his 4.41 FIP (fielding independent pitching), he should be counted on to keep his roll going" Why's that, exactly? Except Trevor May improves because he's under performing his FIP? Sounds like cherry picking a bit to me.
  3. 2011 4.18 2012 4.59 2013 4.56 2014 4.08 2015 4.16 Starters currently sit at 16th in MLB. Seeing they currently are WORSE than last years' by at least that measure.....it belies the eyes for sure. xFip thought they were a full run better than their ERA last year. I don't know if xFip actually had to watch them pitch at any point, but it is what it is. Confirms those '12 and '13 teams were absolutely rotten though, which required no confirmation.
  4. Yet...by xFip 2011 4.33 2012 4.46 2013 4.46 2014 4.12 2015 4.24 Never better than 20th (which, granted, is this year.)
  5. Nothing like the smell of a good puff piece in the morning!
  6. Hunter is looking Kubel-esque from last year on both sides of the ball, except they're paying him 10 mil to do it.
  7. If he keeps it up, you could be looking at double that to lock him up to something similar in a year, but I agree - I don't care about the Twins' money and I think they'll keep him one way or another - if he can prove himself again next year.
  8. Baltimore is gonna give up Bundy for Suzuki/Duensing? You must be high.
