    Not a joke at all. This thread evolved exactly how I expected. The same path most ORG threads take.

    Agreed?

    He had his best year when the Reds Lopez at SS, EE at 3B and Dunn in Left.
    He had his worst year, the year three Reds won Gold Gloves.
    2009, the year he improved his ERA by almost a full run, the Reds still had EE at 3B, Gonzales at SS and Gomes in LF. The real transformation to the Reds defense happened in 2010, a year after Arroyo's improved ERA.
    That's not accurate and this isn't the first rodeo for this conversation.

    BTW in 2008, the Reds defense was ranked 24th in the league (-32 runs) and it was ranked 4th in 2009 (+48 runs) for an improvement of 70 runs. I wonder how this impacted the only thing that matters for the Reds?

    My argument is that history tells us that truly elite pitchers put up elite ERA's no matter what else is happening around them. They overcome luck and other issues to make sure that very few runners cross the plate. Bailey has yet to do that. He may. I hope he does. But until then, he's a potential elite pitcher, not an actual one.
    The term is "peripheral" -- meaning "not central". I don't think it actually refers to their partial nature. Rather, it refers to their status in the mainstream vocabulary of baseball, which is decidedly off the beaten path.

    All statistics are partial, ERA included. You have chosen an arbitrary stat to run with "historically" here instead of focusing on what Homer's situation is this year.

    Arroyo's ERA+ as a Reds

    2006 142
    2007 109
    2008 92
    2009 110
    2010 105
    2011 78
    2012 111
    2013 115
    You see a 20 point drop from 2007 to 2008, then a 20 point gain from 2008 to 2009. Otherwise pretty steady except for his first year and his injured year.

    If the defense helped him so much in 2009, why did it not hurt him in 2007?

    He had an era almost a full run worse in 2007 then his lucky year in 2006 despite being almost the same pitcher. His defense did not help him.

    His 2007 just shows how lucky he was in 2006. It would seem that ERA isn't very good at illustrating what is most important i.e. a pitcher's ability to limit runs scored.
