100 Sim Results - #2 Starting Pitchers

These are the results of 100 baseline resims (ended up being 95 seasons due to a silly mistake on my part, though I will continue to call it the 100 sim baseline). Each season was run in neutral parks. Injuries were turned on, each team had a strict 5 man rotation, and the schedule was set for 154 games. To date, we've completed the reviews for all of the batters, here is the link to the review section of the blog and another for the full detail for each position.

Our number two starters are unfortunately in a similar vein as our #3. Together, they averaged a 4.29 ERA, worse thatn the 5's and 4's, and on par with the 3's. It isn't all bad though, amongst the pitchers we've reviewed 1908 Addie Joss ranks 8th. He averaged a 3.73 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 29 starts per year.

Behind Joss is 1946 Hal Newhouser (3.96, 1.48) and 1942 Mort Cooper (3.93, 1.34). It is also official - 3-Finger Brown was not meant for ATB. He recorded a 4.66 ERA and 1.51 WHIP.

Finally, I must admit I am very disappointed. I wonder how many good pitchers I missed because they weren't on my draft board. Obviously, outside the elite, my formula was flawed.
