Leading into a grueling series as well.

Re: 8/2/2012
9-4 ballgame.
I think Ondrusek is ok. He tends to fade later in the season, maybe he'll do better in late 2012 with less work. Arredondo apparently warming up. |

Even if you regress his BABIP to .300, which seems like a reach considering he's maintained his BABIP in three straight seasons, you're still left with an OPS against of league average. So no, he's actually not a replacement level reliever. He's more like an average reliever. And for the record, I like FIP and xFIP, but I think the true measure of a pitcher is in between FIP and OPS. I don't think either extremes are the most accurate measures of a pitcher. I think it's too little to not account for anything in play, but I also think not all of what happens in play was the doing of a pitcher. So I don't think OPS against is perfect, but I don't think FIP is either.

2. Marshall 3. Broxton Simon Arredondo (in some order) 6.Lecure Hoover (who I realize is not here) 8. Ondrusek 9. Bray In no way is Ondrusek better than any of the guys I listed above him. He should not be a #5 reliever. |

Re: 8/2/2012
I'm glad the days are gone where people can just make claims about a player's ability without being able to support that with "what they're eyes tell them."

Re: 8/2/2012
For the record, I would have let Ondrusek pitch the 9th here.

Re: 8/2/2012
Why? It worked just fine for us back in 70's when we were watching the Big Red Machine.
