I was curious if anyone has thoughts on if the clutch rating affects the postseason. I know it's mainly for close/late, but what about October Hero's (like Jeter) & Bum's (AROD)?

Here are the best SP's (with non-normal clutch) in POTD who have extensive postseason experience:
Marquez (great) - 231-121 2.68 ERA career; 31 starts 17-5 2.08 postseason
Woods (suffers) - 161-74 2.88 career; 16 starts 4-3 2.43 postseason
Woodward (suffers) - 150-90 3.48; 9 starts 1-3 6.33
Kaufmann (great) - 134-41 2.63; 28 starts 9-5 2.36
Gomez (great) - 179-84 2.70; 16 starts 7-5 2.43
Gurrola (suffers) - 166-123 3.34; 11 starts 4-4 4.89

Might appear to be some correlation, but could use more. Maybe some others could post similar things?
