A couple questions.

1)Do you play in a pitcher's park or hitter's park?

2)What kind of defence do you have? Great, good or decent?

The reason I ask both is because even when I have pitchers who score in the 6-8 range in both "avoiding runs" and "avoiding hits", they still will be lucky to have an ERA under 5.00.

At one point, my rotation was made up of 4 guys that had a scouting report of "truly dominating", and all had 7 or higher in avoiding runs, and 8 or higher in avoiding hits. But my team ERA was still around 5.30, and of the 4, only one had an ERA under 4.00, and two of them had ERA's over 5. In contrast, the top guys in the league (whose ratings arent as high as my guys) had ERA's around 2.50-2.85.
