Resim Power Alley - #5, John McDonald Fanclub

#5 – John McDonald Fanclub
Owner: Jason B

The first thing that struck me in compliing the Fanclub data was how much their starting pitching over performed in the regular season. It ended up not impacting their win total when compared with the re-sims, but this kind of discrepancy in ERA’s is hard not to notice:

Player………………Season…………20 Resim
Martinez……………2.70…………………2.30
Hughson………………2.67…………………3.68
Cooper…………………2.33…………………3.80
Earnshaw……………3.68…………………4.49

¾ of the rotation was much better in ATB XII then the resim’s. Earnshaw bested his “baseline” ERA 0.81 while Hughson came in a full run better, and Cooper an astounding run and a half better.

On offense, only Norm Cash was a very good hitter. 5 regulars had OPS scores of .702 or worse, odd for a Top-5 caliber team, and all the more reason pitching was their key to success. This was somewhat intentional, as Jason paid a premium for defense for the sake of offense.
