CY Analysis and Cards Pitchers

Beyond the Box Score did an analysis of this years CY award in both the AL and NL Link and used a formula to assign points to each pitcher based on typical "voting" categories.  Not necessarily the best categories to evaluate a pitcher by but what categories are most likely to be used by voters when choosing the award.

The formula is W*6-L*2+SV*2.5+SO/12+SHO+(5/9-ERA/9)*IP then 12 bonus points are added if your team is in first place.


BTBS only looked at pitchers with over 10 wins so Lohse, Looper and Wellemeyer from the Cards.  I started out wondering where Wainwright would fall if he had 10 wins and ended up calculating the score for all 5 of our main starters and some of our main bullpen arms.


Here are the points:

Lohse 100
Wellemeyer 94
Wainwright 79
Looper 76
Franklin 70
Perez 39
Pineiro 29
Springer 28
Izzy 26
Thompson 25
KMac 17

KMac is hurt by having one save, holds not counting and his high loss number compared to low wins.  I do find it funny though that Pineiro has been just as "good" in the eyes of voters as Springer just because one is a starter and one is a reliever. 


In the end it is just a neat little chart showing where we rack and stack.


If you have other names I can plug them into my spreadsheet or you can do it yourself and post them here.

I think you could replace "funny" with pathetic

in that sentence about Springer/Piniero and get at least a +1 out of me.
