Pitching wins you championships, thats why we lost , lester had an off game in game 3, wakefield sucked in game 4 and beckett sucked in game 2 .
if we had a reliable 4th starter we probly win game 4 in that series and end up winning the series
are they on crack giving Eli all that money ? Eli is way overated . this year was actually his best season, yet it wasn't that great of a season
he's never passed for more than 24TD in a season and has only trown over 3400 yards once wich was 3762
ok ...so the stats I pulled out ( that showed Young was in fact a good defender) for young's defense is a total joke ?
better tell John Dewan so he can fix this problem
so where in that article is there stats to prove his s***** defense? all it talks about its WPA/LI ( wich has nothing to do with defense)
there just bassicaly saying his defense sucks as an opinion

ZRZevised Zone Rating is the proportion of balls hit into a fielder's zone that he successfully converted into an out. Zone Rating was invented by John Dewan when he was CEO of Stats Inc. John is now the owner of Baseball Info Solutions, where he has revised the original Zone Rating calculation so that it now lists balls handled out of the zone (OOZ) separately (and doesn't include them in the ZR calculation) and doesn't give players extra credit for double plays (Stats had already made that change). We believe both changes improve Zone Ratings substantially. To get a full picture of a player's range, you should evaluate both his Revised Zone Rating and his plays made out of zone (OOZ).
