Andrew, you may be correct.

He had a complete turn around this year. Most of his bad stats were in the first month. He also had one really bad start in Albequerque but the wind was also blowing out about 40mph that day. I think Ottavino is still our most talented upper minor league starting prospect.

Is this going to be the last year Ottavino has a shot at being a starter? I keep forgetting that he is only 23 and he had somewhat of a turn around season (really says how bad is 08 was). I am under the impression he can be an effective major league reliever. Hes just got to improve the command, and he has time to.

“Jesse Todd my have blown his major league debut, but these stats show way he’s a stud. I didn’t know he was that young either. A .220 BA from DeRosa better have been worth our future bullpen. Yet again, hindsight is always …

Of course it is, especially since relievers five cents a dozen.

I read that to mean ‘Parise was far and away better at avoiding solid contact in the PCL than anyone else’. That accurate?

More than Parise´s GB rate is his LD rate. It was less than 6%. But more importantly, it was 4 standard deviations better than the league average and 2 standard deviations better than the next best. For those that understand statistics, those are out of this world relative numbers. Luck? The differential involved would indicate that even if lucky he wuld still be among the best without luck. If he can repeat that in the future and come anywhere close to that in the big leagues, he could be more than an average reliever

There’s much to like here, but what I like most about it is the clear correlation between age and WHIP (not shown in your table — it should be — but easy enough to pick up from the original one). Simply put, the older the pitcher, the higher the WHIP. That says that some of these young guys could be very good, and the older ones are roster filler, as they should be.

Of course, that would all look much better if the WHIP leader was still with the organization … but no use crying over spilled Todds.

I’m looking at Perez’s numbers and not crying.
