I used 100 IP because I want to establish an sufficient sample size in order to compare against the others pitchers on staff as well as against the pitchers at the next level.

I look at stats such as BABIP, WHIP, K/9, BB/9, and FIP. I compare against the league leaders to find out if my guy is in the top 20% of the league.

The stats I absolutely don't look at are Wins, Losses and ERA as those are irrelevant in the Minors.

Now, the actual number doesn't have to be 100 IP's, it can be 50 or 75 but whatever number you pick you keep to it so you can compare across your entire organization.
