In regards to the very animated conversation about Kevin Millwood’s success this season, Adam Morris takes me to task on Lonestarball with lots of thoughtful reasoning. And then the discussion spills over to Facebook. Bottom line: I’m sticking by my thinking that Millwood’s numbers this year have improved significantly because he is in better shape and because he’s got a better group of fielders behind him. Richard Durrett also weighs in at the DMN’s baseball blog.
The argument about how low his strand rate in 2007 could be turned on its head. You could also argue that his strand rate that year would have been significantly higher - thus bringing down his ERA - had he an adequate set fielders behind him.
Good stuff all around. Vigorous baseball conversation. Awe. Some.
