I'm not a system player. I am a system.
so when was Ortiz good? he's been a lucky a couple times, but as far as being good, he's only done that in the pen.Code:Ortiz Year ERA IP K/BB BB/9 K/9 H/9 HR/9 WHIP P/IP BABIP 1999 6.52 48.1 1.76 4.66 8.19 9.31 1.30 1.55 17.11 307 2000 5.09 111.1 1.33 4.45 5.90 7.76 1.46 1.36 15.55 241 2001 4.36 208.2 1.65 3.28 5.82 9.62 1.08 1.43 15.23 297 2002 3.77 217.1 2.38 2.82 6.71 7.79 1.66 1.18 15.06 238 2003 5.20 180 1.49 3.15 4.70 10.45 1.40 1.51 16.81 293 2004 4.43 128 1.95 2.67 5.77 9.77 1.27 1.38 15.30 302 2005 5.36 171.1 1.85 2.68 5.04 10.82 1.79 1.50 15.39 303 Total 4.72 1065 1.77 3.18 5.80 9.39 1.44 1.40 15.61 280 Milton Year ERA IP K/BB BB/9 K/9 H/9 HR/9 WHIP P/IP BABIP 1998 5.64 172.1 1.53 3.66 5.59 10.18 1.31 1.54 --- 299 1999 4.49 206.1 2.51 2.75 7.11 8.29 1.22 1.23 16.29 270 2000 4.86 200 3.64 1.98 7.20 9.23 1.58 1.25 16.18 282 2001 4.32 220.2 2.57 2.49 6.40 9.05 1.43 1.28 16.03 273 2002 4.84 171 4.03 1.58 6.37 9.11 1.26 1.19 15.86 282 2003 2.65 17 7.00 0.53 3.71 7.94 1.06 0.94 13.94 232 2004 4.75 201 1.99 3.36 7.21 8.78 1.93 1.35 17.10 263 2005 6.47 186.1 2.28 2.51 5.94 11.45 1.93 1.55 16.98 311 Total 4.99 1374.2 2.46 2.59 6.54 9.38 1.52 1.33 --- 282
as for Milton, bad knees+already being up in the zone=a lot of balls in play.
did anyone note at the begining of the year that Ortiz and Milton came from teams that are extremely defensivly minded (or for the case in 04 for Milton; Burrell, Byrd/Michaels, Abreu, a very good defensive OF).

yes, this really is how we make our living.
Look at that BABIP in '02.
He was the poster boy for luck.
