Giants sign Penny to help in playoff race

I believe I said I understood that the other stats were the main focus for determining a pitcher's skill...but I still find the W/L stat interesting, like rhet does.

 

I'll check those names later, but a sample size of 3 is nowhere near large enough for me to feel a determination of...odds? trends?...whateveryoucallit?...could be made. Have another dozen or two names for me to check out? I'm not being sarcastic there...if you have more names, I'd be interested in them too.

 

I'll give you a number of factors that help a pitcher while switching leagues, specifically to the NL West:

 

Bigger parks, weaker lineups, pitchers hit, the Mets.

Hey lady:

 

A) W/L is a nearly worthless stat.

 

 

I can say this with absolute certainty: there are no worthless stats in baseball.

Nearly worthless =/= worthless, champ.

 

But by itself, it's not a good indicator of pitcher performance.
