I adjusted Hughes' ERA that way because he's had so few starts in the majors; his ERA in eight starts (nine after tonight) isn't a very good gauge of his actual ability. Things like his fielding independent ERA and QERA tell us a lot more than his 5.65 ERA in 43 ML innings.Vegas Watchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02353166004125421683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-56936028101250034452007-09-06T00:53:00.000-04:002007-09-06T00:53:00.000-04:00the way you determine phil hughes era doesn't really seem accurate, you didn't adjust anybody else's era for fielding or anything...i think the gap between the yankees top two and the rest of the rotation is as significant as any of the other teams.Ramonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04995821178400236246noreply@blogger.com
