Hmm... I think you're on to something here with this method, and the results look good.

The only question is: would Perez be above or below Lowe by this method?

[trevisc]

in my opinion Perez is below because Lowe will get tons more run support.

Great job on that list..i'm printing it now..

I guess you do have to put Lowe ahead of Perez but I hate to do it. Perez is in a great pitchers park and will only be 24 this year.

I like the list, but Schmidt is really a lot better than this. K's and a good ratio, he's gonna be big this season!

[Hbj79]

Schmidt is a good pitcher. If you look at his numbers they are almost exactly like those of A.J.Burnett. However that being said he is also six years older than Burnett. I hope Schmidt is one those guys who slides further than he should.
