August 9, 200322 yr Author 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.
August 10, 200322 yr 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.
August 10, 200322 yr if they're not going to move him up to the majors at least they should move him up to AAA, right?
