Looking at bl'a atat linw, he doesn't fit all of your requirements, so why keep him?
: I have some general rules of thumb I use, but
: I'd reconsider dropping BL. Comeback year
: candidate, is efficient, gets deep into
: games, significantly improved offense,
: they've got Hoffman back. Lawrence could
: return this year to better numbers overall,
: like 14-15 wins. Also, depending upon the
: size of the league you're in, I'd seriously
: doubt you'd find much better than him on the
: wire.
: That being said, my general rules of thumb to
: pick up a pitcher are Ctl under 3, Dom over 6
: and Cmd 2.5 and up. Those guys have the most
: likelihood not only to survive and keep jobs,
: but are less inclined to get torched in one
: outing and kill my era and whip. I also look
: at the bullpen behind them, their injury
: history, and the offense supporting them. If
: you really want to get crazy, look at the
: offenses in that pitcher's division as well.
: Finally, I also look at their quality start
: trends. I use the PQS section of the
: Shandler book in the offseason and track
: Quality starts, generally 6 innings plus, 3
: earned or less per start during the regular
: season. For rookies, I don't touch anyone
: with a MLE BPV of 75 or better from last
: year, let someone else take that risk, give
: me a veteran Trachsel type any day.

: Hi,
: I'm trying to pick up a SP Free Agent. I'm
: droppiing Brian Lawrence. I'm using the
: method of Command Ratios to pick one up.
: However, all the avalible SP's have horrible
: Command Ratios. Is this normal or bad? Are
: their any other methods I can use? If so, can
: you include the formulas, please? Thank you.
