(bb/9 may not provide enough digits, but good enough for initial interest)
just hit autocalc occasionally for an easy fix.

it wasn't just one players season. it was a whole team , and it was thru 4 seasons now. I just used kennedy as the example because it was 50% above projections.
there were a couple individual pitchers in those 4 seasons that had slightly better than average bb/9, but they had 65 control ratings, so that should be expected. what I did not see was any Royals pitcher have better than expected bb/9, but many had worse than expected.
I have yet to see danny duffy with an ERA below 4.50 in those 4 seasons. one season he ended up with something like 6.80.
I get that players can and will have bad seasons. what I am not seeing is Royals pitchers have good seasons as well. I don't know if ballpark factors could have something to do with this, or if the underlying ratings are just poorer than they seem, or if there is a bug. I just wanted to know, everyone else playing this game - out of all the hundreds of you, anyone seeing the opposite? anyone have the Royals make the playoffs in season 1? if its possible to be 15 games below projections, its also possible to be 15 games above, right?
