SP. He won't waste pitches by walking people and he should be quite effective. I see him as a 6 inning starter who will occassionally give you seven.

After all the seasons I have played, I still don't know what is the best way to evaluate pitchers. what would you say are your most important 5 ratings when looking for an effective pitcher (SP or RP).

Thanks

Would your answer depend on the ballpark?

They work in conjunction with one another. Someone mentioned something the other day and I did something similar when I first started.

Remove all your pitchers with less than 45 control or 50 splits.

Add up control, splits and P1-3 for starters and P1-2 for relievers.

Stock your staff with the highest totals.

At some point, when you feel comfortable with pitching, experiment with the lower control/higher splits-pitches or higher pitches-control/lower splits. You'll figure out which weaknesses can be overcome.

Not nearly as much as my answer would depend on my defense. The better my D, the higher control I want. Make them earn baserunners.

What would you rate Lindsey Vonn on a scale from 0-10? A) Looks and B) Skiing

i second that did you see the SI swimsuit issue with her?

Can't really say I've ever seen her body but I assume she's athletically built(which generally means low fat, small boobs). Assuming that, I give her a solid 8. I guess she's good at skiing. 9, I guess.

I evidently did not.

Those are not questions but I imagine Threadmaster Sergie will let them live. I'll keep her at an 8.

Is there any celeb you could give as a reference point so we know what a 10 would be?

By definition, a 10 would be perfect. I don't think such a thing exists.

ed?
