Driveline Mechanics Ranks the AL East Starting Pitchings Staffs by WAR

It's the last in a series I did covering all of the MLB projected starting pitching (including spot starters) using BP's playing time forecasts, FIP derived from an average of PECOTA, CHONE, and ZiPS projections, and some other stuff. The Orioles pitching, of course, isn't... looking so good at the moment, and Hayden Penn is out of the picture since he left after I wrote the article, but don't blame me, I just did the spreadsheet(s) and made the dumb jokes. Hey, at least they're cheap and the front office is on the rise (seriously)! I've irrationally liked Mark "Lurch" Hendrickson since his days as a Blue Jay...

Great stuff.

thanks

WE’ll see what other people say (if anything). I was a bit nervous about posting a link here because of what the projections say about the Orioles, but it seems (from a cursory glance) that most here have accepted it. I do think (not taht my opinion counts for much) that the organization is moving the right direction as a whole — not paying a lot for the current group shows smarts, and although I’m not a prospect maven, most seem to agree that Tillman, et. al. are going to be good major league pitcher in the not so distant future.

Bringing you more-or-less replacement level analysis and commentary to Driveline Mechanics and elsewhere since sometime in 2008.
