240 IP guy.

The 240 IP guy averages 7.5 innings per start, the 170 IP guy averages 5.3 innings. Meaning every start pitcher A's bullpen throws 1.5 innings, pitcher B's bullpen throws 3.7 innings. Over the course of 32 starts, pitcher A's bullpen throws 48 innings, pitcher B's throws 118.4 innings. With the extra 70 innings of stress, pitcher B's bullpen ERA will be more of a negative difference than pitcher A's starter ERA.

Ill take the 240 IP guy, usually I'll take quality over quantity, but it's not like pitcher b is putting up some ridiculous numbers, so I'll go with the bullpen relief.

Pretty much echoing what's already been said..

The difference in ERA doesn't make up for the number of innings (that don't vary in quality too much) you're getting out of Pitcher A. He is keeping the game out of the hands of the bullpen, which are generally crappier pitchers.

I really need DIPS ERA and some relief support numbers to come to a solid conclusion, though. :P

Yea, I'd take the 240 IP guy as well. I mean, its basically would you rather have 5IP of 2ER starts or 7IP of 3ER ball every time out.

Innings eater especially for the Marlins since we really need to stop overusing our BP.

Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him.
Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on.
In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun.
He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades.
Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot.
The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.

Is this a one year thing and thats what you will get or do you get that pitcher for your team? how many innings has he thrown in his career and the previous year? Are they fastball pitchers or what?

It's obviously a one year thing and the other variables shouldnt make any difference since all variables are used as an indicator for runs that will be given up and that's already given.

I am glad that fucker is becmoing one o the evilist players in our franchise. So many fans knew he was going to be a piece of shit, and yet Adam Jones, Chris Tillman and George Sherrill are all Orioles.
