Take another look at the numbers, I think you may have left a guy in that shouldn't... I made that mistake and got the same numbers, but when games and games started for the "starters" didn't add up I found him.. he has 25 starts and 26 appearances (if you made the same mistake. Numbers change only slightly and of course only for starters:
H/9 8.76
ERA 3.93
K/9 6.87
BB/9 2.85
HR/9 .90
But I wouldn't take these numbers for much of any representation personally.... you're dropping 57 (18%) pitchers. Accounting for 221 (16.9%) wins, 273 (20.9%) losses, 1133 (12.8%) relief appearances, 640 (24.4%) starts, 4543.2 (19.4%) IP, 4617 (19.9%) hits, 2119 (19.9%) ER, 481 (20%) HR, 1636 (19.8%) BB, 3214 (18.2%) Ks with 4.20 ERA.
The assumption in throwing these guys out is that these stats are 50-50 between starters and relievers... which is more than likely not the case. The guys that were cut that were primarily starters (had only 8 or fewer relief appearances compared with at least 9 starts) had an ERA of 4.33 combined.
So you have a representation of 80% of 1 year of the new game, which isn't bad and clearly shows incorrect numbers, but you don't have an accurate years data to drive from... I wish it broke it down so we could get real numbers.
