TheMeXiKaN's Theory of YAHOO Auto-drafting; How to pre-rank!
The obvious stats like Wins, Losses, and ERA can be deceiving. I have been told that it is best to look at their WHIP and BAA. Usually, when I look at a pitcher's WHIP, I consider under 1.15 good, and absolutely won't touch a pitcher with a WHIP over 1.25.
