Back To Board

ok...a few

Posted By DaveF

Many was an overstatement but after looking over stats...I'm trading for Jay Witasick: INN with 0.00 LOPS (if he's sent down or injured so his stats won't change since these are RT stats: He just came off the DL though...).

In 98RT5:

Carbon Canyon
Lone Star
Orcutt
Katama
East Coast

Are all pretty strongly right handed. Some of them have more lefty hitters than others but they may be INN so less of a threat or have duplicate positions still limiting the number of lefty bats that can get into the lineup.

As to the idea that a pitcher with excellent LOPS must be lousy vs righty batters to be INN...look at Mike Maroth: LOPS .496/ROPS .769.

This type of INN pitcher seems more common in RT, but perhaps that is because TRAD teams don't draft INN pitchers so these guys are in the undrafted pool, while RT league managers don't know who's going to be INN and end up with a lot more INN pitchers. I'll have to pay more attention to the INN guys in next year's TRAD drafts!!!
