100 Sim Results - #3 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.

I am not going to spend much time on the #3’s. Obviously, my formula is terrible. Let’s recap. Pitchers too low on my draft board have averaged a 3.79 ERA. My #4 starters a 4.14 ERA, and now my #3 starters a 4.32.

The best of the 3’s is one of 1948 Harry Brecheen, 1999 Kevin Milwood, or 2009 Zack Greinke.
