Exhibit 256 of why I don't trust defensive metrics.

Also, I'm not sure what you guys see in Sheffield. He doesn't instill any confidence in me whatsoever. He's got a decent slider, but everything else is very pedestrian. He's a #4 or #5 at best in my mind.

He was good last season not good this season.

Good God these clowns are just idiotic:

Servais said they aren't planning on going to a five-man rotation with the two offdays in early May. But it has been discussed as a possibility.

Like I said, something would have to go horribly wrong for them to deter from the plan. They'd have to admit that they were wrong.

Way too small of a sample.

I still don't trust it, even with a full season. Sure, if you are at the top of the rankings you are probably pretty good, and if you are at the bottom then you are probably pretty bad, but there is way too much that can't go into a formula. I feel the same way about PFF because you have people evaluating the football players without knowing their exact assignment.

Ditto. Torrens at 23 is ridiculous.

Nice knock by KLew! Love to see that!
