Originally posted by Ken View PostOK, now I'm curious about what the heck is going on with the bWAR pitching formula.
The St Louis Browns has a 5.20 ERA overall. Garver has a 3.39 while pitching 1/5th of their innings.
Garver's BWAR may have benefited from the Browns having such unusually bad pitching overall.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

If you look at Blackwell or Sal Maglie, their individual stats were significantly better.
Seems like the park adjustment had to be wrong for Stl.

Not getting Gorgeous George Sisler is one of my regrets in this draft. I'm taking Bottomley here because it feels like the bottomley falls out of the 1920s after him, at least for my team."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Wasn't my fault Gorgeous George got taken. Blame the run on 1920's picks that forced my hand. Really didn't want to have to pick a 1920s when I did. That said, The Handsomest One probably shouldn't have been available, especially after a 1920s run.
