You can site anything you want, but there are 2 AL SP who have a WHIP under 1.00

and you are telling me that someone who allows over 1 baserunner per inning is better than that?

Your cred is dropping by the mile right now.

Pavano has been stellar, Liriano can look dominant at times, but for an overall body of work, Liriano is probably your 2nd or 3rd best SP.

Floyd was right there with Liriano up until last night, and we still stranded 10 runners against your staff yesterday, so one hit here or there and we win.

I am not concerned. Maybe when Morneau comes back I will be.

  - Think of it this way: you know how on offense there are two primary components: getting on base and hitting for power? - musubi Aug 13, 12:28 3
    - Yes, I know. His slugging against is solid. - groiny Aug 13, 12:37 2
      - If he had a 1.5 WHIP. Maybe. The difference between 1.26, 1.24 and 1.25 is trivial. (Liriano vs Pavano vs Sabathia) - musubi Aug 13, 12:46 1
        
        right, but the difference between 1.26 and .98 or 1.07 is huge. - groiny Aug 13, 12:47
