All good points. I'm actually the Phillies -- the team Navarro is on.

I've had a rash of injuries lately, leading to sub-par defenders compared to my normal guys, so maybe Navarro is showing his true colors.

You echo a good point about the 1-10 ratings scale and how it may murky up some analysis.

The small sample size - another good point. Rasmussen's opposing hitting had a .491 BABIP in his 11 major league innings so i'd wager he had a bit of bad luck going into that 16.68 ERA (although he did still have a 7.79 FIP).. Likewise he's got just a 3.27 FIP in AAA so probably defense hurting him there too.

I think you make good points, both of you. I guess Navarro's been putting up better numbers than expected due to the defense. His 4.31 FIP compared to his 3.67 ERA echos that sentiment. Luckily, they're due back soon. Thanks again.
