It's more that FIP is used incorrectly by many people.

Well it is also unfair. Which is important to some of us.

I can see you're all broken up about that too.
PS: JFYI, your PM box is full so I couldn't respond to your most recent PM. Just thought I'd let ya know.

That's fair. I wasn't quite sure how that went.
I think it's fair to be skeptical of Johnson moving forward since he has recent history of relying more heavily on luck than other successful relievers.
I think the bigger concern with JJ is whether or not he's going to have control moving forward. If that regresses back to the mean than I think there is a fair chance he can be a useful guy.

Gotcha.

Ultimately, FIP is neither fair nor unfair. It is a statistic that can be used correctly or incorrectly, with context or without context.
When we speak of it being "unfair" to flyball pitchers, this is:
1) referring to a very minor effect for a small number of pitchers
2) merely something that should be considered when evaluating future potential
FIP doesn't treat any pitcher differently than any other, so it is equally "fair." FIP doesn't capture all sorts of value, because that's not what it is for.

I'll let my butler know. He is supposed to clear it every fortnight.

Speculating that Varvaro could be soon included in a deal with Justin or Gattis. All I know is we better get something decent for him.

Wait, there isn't one WAR to rule them all?

I for one think Carpenter is clearly better than Varvaro. I mean he's just a 7th inning guy to be sure, but Carp seems to get a bad rap around here.

The main reason I don't like this move is because Varvaro is a guy who can go multiple innings in addition to the typical one inning as everyone else.

Don't fret, I have reason to believe that Varvaro will be replaced by South Carolina's own Michael Kohn.
