Our Philosophy |
 |
by Tim Polko Welcome to our weekly LPR rankings, our primary method of identifying highly skilled and/or consistently effective pitchers. While we have not changed this system since last season, feel free to refer to this key for a complete description of the codes. We have included the five most recent 2006 QA scores for each starter, along with the 10 most recent QA scores for each reliever, tabulating all data through May 31st. Pitchers with no QA scores have not pitched this year, so do not roster any of them unless you see someone ready to return to the majors.
abxyz - Scot Shields(3534434524)
Barring an abrupt collapse of his skills, Liriano appears on pace to finish the year as the first pitcher this decade to hit a perfect 1AXax in a single season. Of course, Sabathia and Putz also both score nearly as impressive as Liriano's marks. Jon Papelbon and Javier Vazquez only missed by a couple of groundballs.
3abcxyz - Mariano Rivera(3324252445) Felix Hernandes suddenly seems back on track, as does Mariano Rivera after an unimpressive opening month.
abxyz - Mike Timlin(3243453543)
Nate Robertson's trend intrigues me, so consider dealing for him if you need a starter.
Y - Hector Carrasco(4422343453)
yz - Eddie Guardado(4453550430)
QA score for relief outings: up to 5 total points, one for each statistical goal, to any reliever who retires at least one batter and fulfills any of the following skill qualifications: K>=IP, BB=0, H<=IP, HR=0, and G-F>=1.00. Any reliever who doesn't reach any of the required statistical goals or fails to retire a batter earns a 0 QA score. Scores of 5 and 4 qualify as DOMinant outings, a 3 is DULl, and anything below 3 ranks as a skill DISaster. Starters must pitch in five games before earning any of the following DOM or DIS ratings; relievers must appear in no less than 10 games before earning DOM/DIS consideration. All pitchers are evaluated as relievers aside from those who reached both 5 starts in a given season and qualified for DOM or DIS ratings.
A - QA score of 4 or 5 in at least 50% of 2006 starts
X - QA score below 3 in no more than 20% of 2006 starts
a - QA score of 4 or 5 in at least 50% of 2006 relief outings
x - QA score below 3 in no more than 20% of 2006 relief outings
SP(6) With no desire to make any moves, we're letting the cap dictate our roster decisions this weekend. Colorado's return home puts Helton, Holliday, and Atkins back into the lineup for Tex, Burrell, and Encarnacion, however we don't want to swap Sullivan for Gathright, nor do we want to deploy Dempster. We therefore will start Santana, Randy, Halladay, and Haren, and while we like Buehrle, we need to use Schilling and Lackey to land exactly at the cap.
