Yeah, you're right, sorry we shouldn't have highlighted ERA with a red arrow, it's GOOD for it to be below the target. Thanks for catching that :)

Question, my teams (and his for that matter) are below the 100% for ERA, but my ERA total was lower than the goal (I think 3.20 for me to 3.22 for the goal) So for ERA is the goal to be less than 100%?

The general feeling I get from the media is that steroids are a rising problem and that steroid abuse is becoming more common in high schools I would put my faith in science and scientific studies before the media, not to mention some of those reporters could should try oxycontin rehab. Unfortunately that all started with steroids in baseball.

Jason, great post. Thanks for telling us more about Holliday's statistical track - I'll definitely be moving him down my draft list.

It will be interesting to do further analysis on this subject once the final 2008 stats are final. In the meantime, ESPN put out this interesting piece:

There are some good stats reference in there. In addition to the numbers is this priceless gem from Miguel Cabrera:

"I think it's the bigger stadiums," Cabrera said.

Re: Can A-Rod Do It?

It would appear that the question with A-Rod is really one of longevity. If he can stay in the league for another 10 years and maintain a HR/AB productivity level of ~.07, he probably has a chance. He's probably not going to see a huge spike, like Bonds (there's the steroids argument..), so what we need to see out of him is a huge focus on health. Maybe we should take a look at the average number of games played per year with these same players? This season was the first time I can remember him missing a significant amount of games - if that's the tip of the iceberg and he gets injured a lot more often, he's probably done for.
