    Joe Magrane won the NL ERA title in 1988 with a 5-9 record (though he made only 24 starts).

    You do realize the criteria used to measure the performance of a starting pitcher and a reliever should be different, right?

    It's amazing that the Pirates can afford Corey Dickerson with a total of five fans sitting behind home plate.

    So don't measure pitchers by wins? Use other criteria?

    For the life of me I don't understand why some of you draw such a militant line in the sand over stats that aren't very useful.

    militant? I'm not the one who looks to goes to 10 paces with anyone who cites conventional baseball stats. Holds is another criteria for measuring worth.

    I don't care if they are conventional or unconventional. I care if they work.
