I don't think he's such a dark horse but I don't see how he's gonna win while ranking 9th in both ERA and strikeout rate and 10th in FIP.

Have you read the SportingNews.com interview with Trevor Bauer regarding his experiments?

It's actually very well fleshed out

Regarding 100% induction into the Hall of Fame, what is your take on people not giving votes to sure-fire Hall of Famers (say, Griffey or Maddux) in order to keep a fringe guy on the ballot?

It wouldn't bother me if somebody stepped forward and claimed that as their rationale. I know somebody did it for Maddux or another pitcher a couple years ago to vote for Trammell or Walker, but got so beat up publicly that I can understand not going public with it. Maybe that's what the three guys who didn't vote for Griffey actually did. We'll never know.

and with that, our weekly session is at a close.
