No, I wouldn't.


A bad pitcher in my analysis is one with poor overall ratings (which supposedly are amalgamations of all of their capabilities). In terms of the overall 20-80 rating, I defined a bad pitcher as someone with an overall rating of 43 or less (many of which had overall ratings in the 30's). In both of your cases, the overall rating (45 and 47) would be in my medium category.


A couple of notes: In my first analysis, I defined these with 100% accurate ratings. And, in my second analysis, I used the Projected WAR estimate for each pitcher (which was shown above).


The reason I used these two ratings is that I was predicting their overall performance, not their walks, strikeouts, etc. So, I chose two predictive measures of overall performance.
