March 31, 200520 yr ...for if he was playing in the NL and at Wrigley Field in more particular?? I know there's alot of stat heads on this board, so I would like to see his translated stats. I would appreciate it alot.
March 31, 200520 yr Author Oh yeah, could someone also give me Prior's translated stats playing in the AL and at the Cell??
March 31, 200520 yr The sample sizes are too small, but just remember after coming to the Sox last season, Garcia had a road ERA of 3.25, road WHIP of 1.04, a .585 OPS against on the road , and a 10.15 K/9 on the road.
March 31, 200520 yr ERA+ is league adjusted ERA -- I dunno if this is what you're looking for, but if I'm not mistaken, this is a way to compare all pitchers, AL and NL, on an equal basis. (So it takes into account park factors -- just because a pitcher has a bad ERA pitching in Colorado won't mean his ERA+ is terrible): Garcia's career ERA+ is 114 (100 is AVG). His career high is 138, and his career low is 96. For reference, Mark Buehrle has a career 125 ERA+, Jon Garland has a career 101 ERA+, and Pedro Martinez has a career 167. I dunno why I picked those three names, just thought it was a good reference point...

Shows that Freddy was a very solid pitcher last year, Mark Buehrle has been very solid his entire career, Jon Garland is actually a slightly above average pitcher(barely), and that Pedro Martinez is god...or a really good pitcher - not sure which.

March 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) ^^Thanks alot. That's what I was looking for. Can you give me Prior's??? http://www.baseball-reference.com/p/priorma01.shtml

If the Sox hadn't traded for Contreras last year, I would have loved for them to give some big bucks to Pedro. I know that's a dream thought, but he's so good...

I was hoping that we would go after a Pedro type in the offseason, even though I know alot of people were against having Pedro this offseason. He would've been nice.

March 31, 200520 yr What was he thinking? Anyone who owns a computer can look and see that Garcia was one of the best in the league in 2001.
